I'm not sure which section it even fits in, I'd go with Memory.
Here goes:
My configuration is:
Gigabyte GA-P35-S3G motherboard, Q6600 processor, 8800 GT, 4 GB of Corsair DDR2, 3 SATA HDDs. All components are brand new, except for the HDDs.
I have Windows Vista x64 Business but I haven't made any updates and it usually works fine for a few days. I turn it off normally but when I start it up again, It detects the video card, processor, but when it's about to detect the ram it just freezes. This is just before the option of entering bios. It should say Memory runs at dual channel interleaved, but after showing "Memory" it just freezes in the middle of the sentence and there's nothing I can do except restart it. After a few hours, it starts up normally again, but if I try to reset it when it happens, it just keeps on freezing. I tried it with different memory modules and the same happens. I reset the bios by taking the battery out and it's the same. It doesn't even get to the enter bios phase. I also tried it with Windows XP x64 and the same thing happens.
Any ideas?
