I just built a new PC. About half the time I start up the computer freezes. It freezes on the Windows loading page. The blue status bar just freezes. What could be the problem?
It is a new install of Windows on a new HDD. I am pretty sure the ram is fine and I am running an Ultra X-Finity 500W SLI certified.
CPU: AMD AM2 X2 3800+
Mobo: Gigabyte sometihng
Ram: Corsair XMS 2GB DDr2 667
Video Card: Gigabyte Silent 7600GT
Sound: X-fi Fatality
I ran Memtest for about 20 minutes and everything was fine. I am aware that that is not very long of a test, but....
One more thing: the ethernet controller has a yellow quesiton mark in Device Manager. I keep installing the motherboard drivers, which include the ethernet drivers, and still nothing. What does this mean, that I have a bad install of WIndows?
