I was wondering is repetitive freezing, bsod's, and failure to boot are normal with vista. I just built this system, and it usually will start windows fine (unless my external hdd is plugged in) but it often freezes in the first few minutes. I also bsod'd when i tried to install video card drivers and antivirus, one time for each. I installed mobo chipset drivers, video and sound drivers, and ethernet drivers. That was about it, and from the beginning the system has been crashing and such. Is there something I need to do to configure my hardware still for stability? I would think a system with a clean OS would run smoothly. All the drivers I installed were for 64 bit windows vista.
AMD Phenom X4 9950 BE
250 GB Seagate HDD
3x 1Gb Corsair 800MHz RAM (1 was bad, so 4Gb after the RMA)
ASUS M3A32 MVP Deluxe mobo
nvidia 9600GT
Any advice would be appreciated, thanks.
