Windows 7 lock-ups Well it is nice to know that i am not the only one with the "lock-up" problems with Windows 7.
I have been fighting this nag for a few days now..Testing many variations to solve this beta problem
and get things running smoothly as things should be on a freshly formatted/fresh installed OS.
Here are some specs of my system:
Operating System: Windows 7 Professional 64-bit (6.1, Build 7600) (7600.win7_rtm.090713-1255)
System Manufacturer: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd.
BIOS: Award Modular BIOS v6.00PG
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40GHz (4 CPUs), ~2.4GHz
Memory: 4096MB RAM
Available OS Memory: 4096MB RAM
Display Devices
---------------
Card name: GeForce 8800 GT
Manufacturer: Nvidia
Memory: 512
In which I am running dual video cards w/ SLI Mode Enabled
Ok here's the deal...I am currently running FLAWLESS With-out any Video drivers installed..Other than the Default
drivers used with Windows 7 on first boot after fresh install..
And have not had any Freeze/Lock-ups whatsoever..So I have narrowed it down to Definitely being a video
display driver issue...I just recently uninstalled the most current 64-bit Nvidia driver:
191.07_desktop_win7_winvista_64bit_english_whql
I used as suggested in an earlier post a program called: DriverSweeper_2.0.5-[Guru3D.com] to completely remove all
Nvidia Display Drivers including all PhysicX drivers as-well.
Next I am attempting to install an earlier vers. of Drivers... : 186.91-whql-Win7Vista-64-[Guru3D.com]
I know some of this may have been previously discussed. And I am sorry if I am being to thorough but I am trying to help myself as-well as others with these same problems/questions by showing in detail my system specifications and what is working for me thus far. If you are reading this and you are having the same issues with Windows 7 Lock-ups or have no issues as such posted but have solution/s please feel free to jump in and help out...I would greatly appreciate it...
Thanks for your time and patience....
Note:I am running the latest DirectX as-well.
