Hi,

I have recently tried installing Vista Ultimate 32 bit on my PC. I liked it, but came across a problem where every now and again the PC would just lock up and the only thing I could do was press the reset button. I wondered if it might be my usb ports so unplugged all my usb devices and put my mouse and keyboard on ps2 adapters. Still had the same problem.

My system configuration is as follows. Crosshair motherboard. Athlon X2 6000+ CPU, 600W PSU, 4 Gb of Crucial DDR2 memory, 2 Hitachi 250Gb SATA drives on a striping raid array plus a western digital 160Gb SATA secondary haerd drive. I have a creative X-FI xtreme audio sound card and an Nvidia 7300GT 256Mb Graphics card. Optical drives are 1 CD re-writer and 1 DVD RAM drive.

Usb peripherals are Canon Pixma printer, Canon LIDE Scanner, Logitech fusion webcam, logitech usb keyboard and logitech usb mouse.

If anyone has any ideas I would be most grateful to hear them as I am running XPx64 at the moment and some of my 32 bit software wont work on it.

Thanks in advance.
