Okay, it's been happening since the first builds of Vista. First, it was sound issues, but that went away, but it still does it now. I'm on Pre-RTM and I am not liking the fact that it may do it if I ever buy it. Now, here's the deal:
If I listen to music and browse, fine, but out of the blues, it will lock up with a high pitch sound. The mouse will not move and the only way to resume operations is by reseting it.
Now, that's not all. If I play videos, it will lock up eventually, so with 3D gaming, that recquires DirectX 9 or higher.
Why does it lock up??? I want to use it standalone because it's all stable and stuff, but if it locks up, it kills the funLink Removed - Invalid URL
Specs:
ASUS P4S800D-X
