Hi guys,
First, here's my specs from my brand new personal built PC:
ASUS P5Q-Deluxe Mobo
Q9550
Patriot Viper 4GB DDR2 800 RAM
eVGA 8800GT SSC (bout a year old)
Corsair 750W PSU
Seagate 500GB HDD
So like the title says, freezes and lockups in Windows and setup. The screen would still show but the keyboard and mouse wouldn't work. I had the DFI LP LT X48 board but switched it to the P5Q-D and I started having these problems so I'm thinking it's the mobo but I don't know. I installed Windows XP 64bit first and when I was having these problems, I tried reformatting to XP 32bit to see if it was the culprit and it locked up in the setup. I google searched, forum searched and did tons of testing. Switched out RAM sticks, Video cards, etc. I just hate to switch CPUs and etc but maybe that's what it takes.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Ins
