    Hi All

    My desktop has started to freeze lately. What willl happen is you are useing any application and everything freezes. i.e. Mouse pointer, Display Clock, etc.
    It is a self build with the following spec.

    AMD Phenom II X2 550 Processor 3.10GHz
    Gigabyte GA-MA770T-UD3P, AMD 770 Motherboard
    Corsair VX450W 450 Watt Power Supply
    3GB-Triple-Kit Corsair TR3X3G1333C9 DDR3, CL9 RAM

    I also running Windows 7 Release Candidate.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    P.S. It has happened 4 times today :(

    can't help you if you're with windows 7. It's even released everywhere there are bound to be some kinks in it. When i had freezing it was because of hardware i had installed or new software/drivers. Try disabling devices and removing anything extra (such as pci cards) and usb devices. Check anti virus scans that could be slowing it down.

    Yeah that sounds like a new bit of software, a driver or windows update gone wrong...

    Look to see in the "system update" utility if there was anything installed over the last 24 hours. If there was, do a system restore to undo the update.

    If that doesn't work we could start looking at the hardware... Which is not such a good thing :(

    Control panel/ admin tools/event viewer.


    match up the time of the freeze with an error and then solve it.

    or post here and i/others will solve it :D

    Most likely a driver issue.....
    Have you checked manufacurers sites for updates for Windows 7?
    I've just installed it on my HP laptop, no windows 7 drivers available for it on HP however the majority installed great by default. Only issue I had was the nvidia graphics chip. Went direct to the nvidia site and they had a driver for W7.

    looks like AVG anti virus may be the culprit, try uninstalling it and using microsoft security essentials (free) and see what happens
