ringfinger Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 Are you monitoring the heat on your CPU... could it be overheating? What are the specs of the machine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ringfinger Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 Yeah, thats crazy. Have you run the SFC command to check and see if any system fiels are corrupted? I know it's a new machine, but never hurts. Also, are all you drivers, especially the vid card, up to date? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiquidSage Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 i dont think its the cpu getting too hot i have 6 fans on my machine and the specs of my machine are:plus it starts doing it not too long after i've switched onThe number of fans mean very little. Most people w/ that amount of fans usually have worse airflow and temps than the people who have a few and place them strategically. Also, the fact that it starts freezing a little bit after you start should also concern you since that is when the cpu would reach a high enough temp to start killing your machine. Dbl check the temp, make sure the heatsink is on correctly.If it's not the cpu, and you have a new pc. It most likely is a conflict with drivers or any other program that really digs into the system like Norton Systemworks or a virus scanner. Disable anything that runs on start up. If you OC'd the computer, return it back to original specs. Try booting with BartPE and check if it gets stuck in that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fredledingue Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 Maybe two RAM bars of different brand. That can also cause conflicts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rendrag Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 could be a bad install of windows.... there's always the option of wiping and starting over again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ender341 Posted August 20, 2005 Share Posted August 20, 2005 (edited) yea all my drivers are upto date, i've used a live update on my motherboard as well, from MSI<{POST_SNAPBACK}>That may be the problem, after trying the MSI live update once, i never went back cause it screwed my computer up, did it have this problem before you ran that?
