Hard lockups as you describe are generally not related to software problems.
Run this memory test in extended test mode for 24 hours or longer. http://oca.microsoft.com/en/windiag.asp Carl -----Original Message----- From: Windows Home/SOHO [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Joseph Harrison Sent: Friday, April 28, 2006 11:23 PM To: [email protected] Subject: A7N8X-E Deluxe Hi Got the A7N8X-E Deluxe mb installed and used my XP Pro Slipstreamed disk to reinstall, and registered and validated with ms without major problems. It has been running for about a week and slowly restoring my data and applications. Everything works fine except for a very irritating problem in that "sometimes" (3 times in a week)it hangs, the mouse does not move, C-A-D does not work and I must do hard reboot (holding the on/off switch for 5 seconds). It starts fine, like first start of the day, no errors reported. The first time it happened when I was getting a coffee and found a black screen, the next time clicking on the back button in mozilla, the third time clicking on an email. I have done the usual virus, spyware checks, defrag ran in under 5 minutes and there is 29 GB free on a 37 GB partition on a 120GB Maxtor HD. Would like to run sfc and need to know which disk to use, the original xp disk or the Slipstreamed disk?
