Hey all, I'm new here and I've gone through a bunch of other threads but haven't found something that pertains to my problem.
Up until a few days ago I was running windows xp on my machine:
Asus P5Q Pro
3.0 ghz dual core
gigabyte HD6850
4gigs of ram (4 sticks)
640 gig SATA HDD
I added a SSD (OCZ vertex 2 120gb)
and changed my wireless card to a linksys wirelessg PCI card
I installed windows 7 on the SSD and am running the HDD as drive E: and D: (partitioned).
Trouble is, ever since I installed windows 7 it's been freezing up on me. First it was skype, but I was able to fix that problem by changing some audio options... I thought I was in the clear.
But then the system started locking up again when I was looking at slideshows, but it seemed at random.
Then I went to upload a pdf to yousendit.com and it locked up. Every time I try to send a file using yousendit.com it will lock up on me. Whether I'm uploading that file from the HDD or the SSD.
I've run the microsoft memory test with no problems, and I never had any problems before the upgrade to SSD and windows 7.
I checked the event log and all I get is error 41 which I believe is just me hard resetting the machine during the freeze.
Any ideas as to why this would be happening? Does it look like a hardware issue or software?
I've tried using msconfig to remove all programs and that didn't help. I can't remove all services however because then I can't test it by uploading the file to yousendit.
Help!
