Vista randomly freezing!

[Yihka]

I did what you said, and at the moment of freezing, it was not 100%.

Updating drivers... good idea

stupid site... show me the drivers! pff and you do show the gtx dirvers but not the gtx+ !?!?!? 

*tries american asus site*

EDIT:

Installed GTX driver since the GTX+ button does not work yet... Will install the GTX+ driver later when it works 

[Yihka]

I dont think it worked, my computer froze while I was playing a game, and the whole screen turned into the color of the skybox of the game...

Normally you would see an arena and some guys, but when it froze I saw the color of the sky and down I saw a slight darker color of the same color!

I reinstalled my whole windows vista. The problem should be away now I think, if not I will post here again

(Sorry about triple post!)

It sounds like the graphic card is causing it..

[Yihka]

Ok I froze again after installing Quicktime from Apple.



I deleted it now, and I will wait for 5 days to see if the problem is gone, if not I will uninstall other software etc.

Install win xp pro 64bit , maybe Vista doesnt support the drivers,

[Yihka]

my graphic card is supported for vista 64 bit, the site says it... I think its program related...

And I only have a legal vista 64 bit OS and well... I would like to use it since I like it more than XP. But, if things wont work out, and even the shop I bought it at cant seem to know the problem, I wont have a choice. 



But... I have googled around about quicktime, there are alot of questions if there is a quicktime 64 bit version, and I did not find a normal answer. So it was probably quicktime 

If it is not, I will throw away the keyboard programs, as they are 32 bit too. If that does not work out, maybe adobe flash player... no? maybe firefox... hmm nope, maybe warcraft 3... etc etc...

Update:

It is not quicktime, now I think its my keyboard software.

But I do suspect windows media player too. ( 2 times frozen when playing a song after reinstall! )

I am checking out the time too.. it was 0:44, so maybe it was some kind of update.

Try Windows XP, I think Proxan is right..

There is alot of problem finding drivers to OS with x64 escpeically vista...

[murderboy]

my first day with VISTA, not much problems yet,
only thing is it always asks permission for anything you wanna do,
but no serious problems.....yet

[Yihka]

Well, it cannot be really driver related.

I got a new video card, 9800GTX+ ... 64bit supported.

My webcam is currently running 64bit vista driver.

Mouse driver was not needed.

AVG should support vista, not sure though.

Registry Mechanic does not support 64bit vista yet, but I have it installed. Might uninstall it after I freeze.

Vista is not really the problem, 64 bit is. I might have installed a program that does not support it, resulting in a freeze. I might be wrong though.

Try Windows XP, I think Proxan is right..

First I will try to see if its program related. If its not, I will email the people from where I got the computer, maybe they know it. If it all does not work, I wont have a choice but to choose Windows XP  64bit.

I am sure you wont find any real problems, just check if its vista compatible, and if you ahve 64bit, check if its vists 64bit compatible.

The thing that it asks for permission you can turn that off, but after some days you think its normal. 



EDIT: Uninstalled registry mechanic after freeze.

I MIGHT HAVE FOUND THE PROBLEM! My firewall blocks svchost.exe ... Maybe that causes the freeze!

[murderboy]

dont know if you mean it with SA,
but its causing trouble with SA,
mouse sometimes not working after changing setting,
sometimes esc, and back unfreezes mouse but sometimes not,

and sometimes when you go to menu(esc) it freezes SA,
you get a black screen, but its only SA all other stuff works fine

[Yihka]

Its switching from menu to game... already know that problem.. but thats not what I mean 

[murderboy]

k, and believe it happens from game entering menu,


off topic:
u know how to solve the mouse freeze and that black screen stuff?
