Freezing in RC1
Hi all
I have been using Vista since BETA 2 and have recently installed RC1 on my main system. The problem i am having is that after a few minutes of using RC1 it just locks up with no mouse movement and the processor fan starts to work overtime! I didn't have any major performance issues with BETA 2 except for the low memory in my system holding the OS back. My system spec is:- Pentium 4 3.0Ghz HT (prescott core) 512MB PC (2700) RAM ATI RADEON 9550 128MB 140GB primary HDD 80GB secondry HDD Toshiba DVD drive LG DVD Re-writer. I have installed it on both HDD's with every possible set up, i think the memory is causing the issue but i never had this problem with BETA 2?! Any help would be appreciated. Paul Hayward

Thanks for the reply. I did a fresh install on my secondary Hard Drive clean format from the install disk by deleting the partition and formatting it afterwards (FDISK). This is the way i have always installed an OS on my computer but i tried an update as well but had the same problem with that install. I'm sure its the lack of memory and relative low spec of the system but i'm not sure if it is a hardware incompatability with the motherboard. Thanks anyway its much appreciated.

Hi, Solution to your problem is disabling disck caching for hard drives and disabling all power management features under vista. "Paul hayward" wrote: Thanks for the reply.
