Ok, so I thought the bios settings I suggested earlier would solve the
problem, but this afternoon.... another 2 lock ups. This is after approx 2
months of stability. It seems the bios settings have stopped the problem
occuring as frequently, but not eliminated them.
Microsoft support suggested that if the lock ups dont occur in safe mode,
the problem is hardware related. However, there is no way I can test whether
the lock ups occur in safe mode or not, since I cant use the PC in safe mode
for 2 months, I need it for work.
Im now trying a downclock of the graphics cards, but I cannot determine
whether this fix will work or not untill the next lock up (if it occurs).
Expect a reply in possibly to months time.

Hi I have been having the same lockups for over a year I have tried updateing
every thing new hardware. I know its not a hardware prob or a grafics prob
and its not a chipset prob eather I talked to the companys that make my
motherboard, amd for the cpu and seagate for my hard drive then PNY for my
memory. I talked to microsoft several times and ether they cant find out what
the prob is or they are to lazy.
mine locks up on a clean install the same way yours dose but after 2-3
months it will stop. I took it to a computer repair shop for three days and
they said its a windows prob and to talk to microsoft, microsoft couldn't
help me. The weard thing is their isn't any error befor or after it locks up.
Sorry I ant no help but since I had to do a clean install yesterday mine
locked up four times only when I use it Microsoft needs to find a fix for it
maby if enough people email them about this prob some thing will be done.

Hi,
I ended up swapping my graphics cards around (swapping slots) and updating
the graphics drivers to Forceware 175.16 and this seems to have solved the
problem. I also suggest making sure ethernet card drivers are up to date.
I suspect its most probably a graphics problem, but I there is not a chance
in hell im rolling back the drivers to find out, since Im enjoying a period
of relative stability (still get bluescreens when using my ESATA disk).
I highly recomend trying different display drivers, using driver cleaner to
wipe the old ones before installing. The moral of the story here is Vista
seems to suck. It sucks on my desktop, and its no better on my off the shelf
laptop (explorer crashing constantly). If it wasnt for the directx10 support,
i would have binned this OS long ago.
