I've got the strangest problem, I just built a new system using this board, everything goes fine when installing Windows, but when I get it installed, I start getting hard locks in Windows, mostly when I go to shut down, and specifically when the shut down menu comes up. It doesn't do it every time, like if I just start it up and immediately shut down, but if I open and close certain programs (painter, for instance) I can get it to do it every time. It'll hard lock sometimes when I go to the Control Panel, or when I change Windows settings (something as inconsequential as the "appearance" settings, not the resolution or anything.) I've RMA'd the board already, and I haven't installed the Nvidia IDE drivers or the firewall. I thought it might have been the memory, ran memtest for around 12 hours on it with no problems, I figure if it was the CPU I'd be having more random lockups, right?
I left all my BIOS settings at the defaults, and while this is potentially the cause of the issue, I don't know where to start looking.
Athlon 64 X2 4800 (Dual core)
2x 1024MB Corsair PC3200 DDR 400MHz
HIS Radeon X1900 XT IceQ3 512MB PCIe w/Dual Link (is this possibly the problem?)
Seagate 400GB Serial ATA HD 7200/16MB/SATA-3G
I honestly haven't built a high end system in at least five years ( I build workstations all the time), and am at my wit's end with this.
Any help would be much appreciated.
