New build, was running fine w/ just the fresh OS, chipset drivers, flashed bios. Now I finally managed to get it hooked up to the network and started to download misc drivers.
To the best of my memory these are the changes I made:
-Ran Windows update once and installed some stuff
-dl and installed latest build of Radeon Omega drivers (now removed but still does notthing to help the situation)
-dl and ran cpu-z
-installed monitor driver off cd along w/ some configuration utility
What happens is the system just locks up whenever i try to do something (or anything for that matter) like browsing through folders/control pannel/cpu-z/web browser, this usualy occurs within 15-30 sec.
I tried tinkering w/ the ram cause it's wasnt running at right freq/voltage/timings but it does not seem to matter.
Is it possible I caught a bug online since i dont have any antivirus/firewall yet and am using outdated OS and web browser (IE)?
I really need some help casue this is really frustrating, i think im just gonna reformat the damn thing and start fresh.
Here are my specs at a glance: Biostar Tforce550 AM2, X2 4200, 2gig Corsair xms2 ddr2-800 CL4, x1800xt, maxtor 200Gb sata, Sony Dvd-rw, Antec truepower 500w, WinXP pro sp2.
