My problem:
Ever since I upgraded my BIOS to 1011 final, then to 1012-003 beta, then down to 1011 final again, then finally down to 1008, I have been experiencing lock ups that freeze my entire computer. No BSODs or errors in event viewer. Just freezes my computer up completely. I cannot even ctrl-alt-del either.
When I first started experiencing these lock ups it was when I upgraded to 1011 final BIOS. It would boot into Windows and as soon as I got maybe ten seconds into Windows it would freeze just like how it's randomly freezing. Removing one stick of memory seemed to stabilize the system. I then upgraded to 1012-003 beta. From there I encountered problems with my Plextor 716SA SATA burner. So I downgraded to 1011 final again and things seemed ok. However I started to experience the same random lock ups. I downgraded to 1008 and still encountered the same lock up. I am now at 1006 and I am wondering what might be causing this lock up? I'm going to go out on a limb and remove one stick of memory if my system locks up once more.
Do any of you have any other ideas as to what might be happening?
