[jontron89]

hi i just built my new system and im running into a few issue's....
Motherboard - Asus P8P67 Deluxe
RAM - 8 GB Corsair Vengeance Memory
CPU - i7 2600k @ 3.40 Ghz
Video Card - eVGA GTX 480
Power Supply - BFG 1200w
OS - Windows 7 Ultimate x64

ok 1st my pc will (from a cold boot) turn on then off then on again and boot normally.
2nd some programs have trouble updating and/or registering
- these programs are Avast! ,AVG i have tried both to no avail.
3rd my system will lock up every now and then and will snap out of it if i leave it alone. in some cases if i have a chat window up i can still chat.

any help is much appreciated.

Could be. Disconnect the HDD and run without it for a bit.

no lockups during my HDD-less run and i was doing this for awhile. im hooked it back up and i will let you know if i experience another lockup.

Edit:i experienced a lockup just now so im trying to do what i was doing just before it locked up on me with out the hdd.

Edit2: with out the HDD in it locked up , but for a much shorter period of time. im going to try running with no networking .

well after a couple of days with no internet connection i cant get it to lock up. ive tried all the above steps with prime95 and furmark and everything went.
referring to my last lockup I had a window popped up tittled Windows 7 saying "Has stopped working. press ok to stop the program/proccess."
if i was to hit ok the windows GUI kind of like restarts. everything on my desktop will disappear and then reappear including the taskbar.


i did want to ask in a hypothetical way...if my windows was a cracked version (updates work fine blah blah) could that be a cause by it self? just curious.

A hacked version could do anything, including sending all your data to the hacker.

ok well, just now i had another lockup but this time it did a BSOD....it moved pretty fast because once i got a pen it reset....but this time my SSD wasn't even showing up in my bios.
i unplugged it and reconnected and it works again. but i dont know.

well i went ahead and just bought a fresh copy of home premium and i have not yet encountered any sort of lockup. only strange occurrence is my HDD is not showing up in the BIOS. at least not in the Asus EZ mode, however it works fine otherwise (shows up under my computer and can write into it).

You may need updated drivers for your SATA 6GB/s controller.

I checked all the drivers and there up to date. I also tried moving it to a different sata 3GB/s port. its weird to me because the EZ mode is the only spot it will not show up. though i can live with this if the lockups are gone .
