System Hang
I just upgraded almost everything in my PC and every since I did my system
will hang for no particular reason, or time period. I will post my specs and hope someone may have an answer. Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit Intel Pentium D 3.2 Dual Core cpu Nvidia Nforce 790I Ultra SLI motherboard EVGA Geforce 9800 GX2 Video Creative X-FI Xtreme Fatality Sound 4 GB (2x2048) OCZ 1800 mhz DDr3 memory Water cooled Basic DVD rw Sata Hard Drive. Everything is brand new except for the cpu, dvd, and hard drive. Thank you all for your help |

On the software side, make sure you have the latest Vista drivers for all your hardware. On the hardware side, test the hard drive and the RAM. Also check your cooling. I understand that you have water-cooling, but hard lockups like you describe are often caused by overheating.
