This one has me puzzled, and I'd appreciate any light you folks can shed on it. Yesterday, my computer froze while I was attempting to unzip too many .rar archives at the same time (stupid work zips one pdf at a time into one archive...each pdf is one page...nice). So I manually shut down...

Have. After running memtest, I've decided to RMA the mobo and the RAM, and hope it isn't the CPU (which it shouldn't be, but there's no telling). Hopefully this will lick the problem.

I ran memtest with 4 different sticks of memory (2 from the initial machine, 2 older sticks I have) and it came bcak with a "Unexpected Interrupt - Halting" error each and every time, regardless of teh configuration. Can you give me any guidance as to what I should test next? I don't have the...

Any thoughts?

I downloaded RC2 Vista with the intent of installing it and running it as my primary OS (now that there are Creative drivers for it). Prior to that, my BIOS had been having some strange problems with maintaining Boot Order. I would restart, and the system would return a "Cannot find NTLDR." I...

The kicker is, I've had Vista up on this machine already with complete success, and there is no new hardware. I have added nothing since then. I will try this solution, however, and report back.

Here's the sitch. Installing Vista RC1/2 (tried both) onto clean partition, first primary partition of a two partition drive. Initially it was one of five connected to the system (4 SATA and 1 PATA), however I eventually disconnected all others but the one. First run through in the...

Thanks for the reply Ridsey. I downgraded to 1205, and am getting better OC performance with the new watercooling rig than I did before (at a higher bus).

I just installed a new Watercooling system on my compute,r and took the opportunity to do a little housecleaning. I noticed a new BIOS on the ASUS site, and downloaded it to get everything up-to-date. This BIOS file has since disappeared from the ASUS site, which makes me wonder if I didn't...

Hey, sorry guys, thanks for your help. Just wanted to keep you interested ones in the loop, it was a bad stick of RAM from OCZ. RMA to the egg and we're set to jet. Great system and now paired with a Dell 2005FPW. I'm in heaven.

Of all the things that suck, and that I absolutely abhor, (regarding computers), the greatest has to be when I want to do something, but I have to accept an evil to do it. If I want to run my game at 1680x1050, I have to disable 6xAA, if I want to overclock my processor, I have to cut down the...

I finished assembling my latest rig today. Specs: Athlon 64 X2 4400+ 2GB OCZ Gold DDR500 Asus A8N32 SLI Deluxe Powercolor X1900XT Aspire Dark Side 600W PSU MaxLine III 300GB SATA II Pioneer DVR-110D I put everything together, linkup keyboard, monitor and press the round button...

OK, here's the deal - I had this same problem about a year ago on another system, and I talked to a friend about it and he burned me a disc that had an app on it that resolved the issue - only I don't have the disc anymore, I forgot what exactly was the problem/bug that caused this trouble, and...

Alright, one more try here.
