Hey everyone, so I appear to have a Windows issue, I get random freezes all the time. First, I can run Windows fine in SafeMode (and SafeMode with networking) with 0 freezes. What I've done now is gone into msconfig and selected "Selective Startup" under the "General" tab and the only box that is checked is the "Load System Services". I also have nothing set to start at startup. My first question is; is that the appropriate box to have checked, or should I be using the "Normal" or "Diagnostic" options? Next as for the drivers, in the device manager, there are no exclamation marks next to any of the drivers so I'm not sure if that's what it is. Are there any 3rd party driver updaters/ managers that you guys recommend? Lastly, I guess I need to be honest about this, I am running a pirated copy of Windows 7, so that also may have something to do with it. My plan of action is to format my hard drive on a different computer, install a clean, official version of Windows 7, and get all of my drivers updated to what they need to be after that. I'd really appreciate some help/advice with the drivers, I really do not know what I am doing there. Normally, I just install them from the disk that came with the hardware, but someone told me those are out of date and could cause problems, do I have to go to each of the manufactures website individually and download the newest one? Thanks in advance for the help!
