Heya didn't know exactly the best place to place this post but hopefully someone has the answers! lol. I've just recently bought Windows Vista (32-bit) Service Pack 1.
I completed an upgrade from Xp to Vista and i was having issues, I then continued to do a full installation of Vista but i was still getting the same problems. These problems were;

1). Main problem is Gaming black outs, I'm currently running 2 VW222U 22" screens Xp could handle it fine, with vista I've found that i cant run a game in the #2 screens because i would get a slight graphics lag. Even when i ran it in the #1 screen i still had problems, after a while of playing any game windowed mode or full screen mode both my screens would turn off then my computer would freeze shortly after. Would also like to note i have installed about 3 different drivers in an attempt to resolve the issue, none worked i also properly removed each driver before moving onto the next. Also i have tried turning off the other screen and just single screen ran vista and played a game but the Blackout still occurred.

Driver: Windows Vista updates handled that one for me.

My system is:
Motherboard: Gigabyte S-Series EP35-DS4
CPU: Intel Q9300 2.5Ghz Core Quad
Ram: I have 3gb or 3070MB. Kingston DDR2 800
HDD: 2x500gb Sata
Screens: Asus 22" VW222U 2ms DVI WS
Graphics Card: GeForce 9800 GX2

2). This issue isnt really that bad but if anyone has a quick fix that would be great, My sound just does not sound right. Yes i do have what i believe is the correct driver installed.

Driver: Windows Vista again.

I have downloaded and installed many video and sound driver to resolve these issues, but the problems persist.

This computer was sorta built for gaming and me being greedy went after DirectX-10 >.<

I kind of dont want to believe that theres a hardware fault somewhere, I've had this computer for just over 1 month now. Though, on a different computer forum it has been bought to my attention that it may not be the best setup >.<

If theres a fix for this please shoot, ill do alot to fix it. I'm running thin on ideas myself.

If anymore information is needed please dont hesitate ill keep a close eye on the forum :Þ

Thanks for reading and thanks for the help in advanced :Þ
