I just installed a clean copy of Windows 7 professional yesterday (legitimate). I have been plagued with a few problems and they are as follows:
Error messages appear when I try to download things, open certain things, etc. A couple of the errors that appear are:
When I try to download things like drivers, it will say I need to restart so I do and nothing is fixed. How do I fix these errors?
P.S. I checked the validate my windows 7 online when I installed it and windows is activated as "genuine".
My second problem is a high pitched noise coming from my motherboard, I believe it might be my ATX 12v 2x4 but I could be mistaken, it is in that general area.
Power is not an issue as I am running a Corsair TX 750 and I'm not running anything but an internet browser and a graphics card. More importantly, I used this setup with windows xp and it was fine. The only thing that I changed was that I rearranged the cords and wiring to make the case neater.
What's the problem and how do I fix it?
My third problem is that when I right click on the desktop, it takes about 30 seconds for the menu to appear which is ridiculous as my WEI rating is 7.6 (disclaimer: I know WEI is not a proper benchmark but you get the idea). I'm running an SSD (crucial M4 with 0009 firmware), i7 2600k , gigabyte gtx 570 and 16GB of kingston hyper X ram 1600mhz. My motherboard is the Gigabyte Z68X-UD3H-B3. My system should be extremely fast, I think that there are problems with my windows 7 install.
