BTW, I did load the ATI drivers from a flash drive which appears to have worked better, so thanks for that. The freezes were still happening during installs of the ASUS drivers and apps, but that was as far as I got last night. After I change the power setting, I will post again.

Freezes are back. I'm at a loss. I had marked the thread as solved, but the problem is not. The power plan is still High performance and I even tried reinstalling the CCC and video drivers.

I noticed that you have your RAM running at 1333MHz clock speed. I have heard of people having issues with RAM at that speed.

Some have bumped it up to 1600 and got rid of the problems, others have dropped it to 1200 and solved the problem. Have you tried that yet?

My memory is 1600 but I'm forced to run at 1333 due to mobo restrictions. I will try to reduce speed to 1299 and see if that helps. Thanks for the advice.

Hi blackjack

Reducing RAM speed may well help also test your RAM (faulty RAM will still work and cause problems), you could use Windows own test or try this test i prefer > http://oca.microsoft.com/en/windiag.asp

Since the memory is new and XP ran fine, I hope it is OK. But, I will test it to make sure. Thanks Veedaz.

The only lower memory speed option on my mobo is 1066. I changed it manually and the freezes appear to have stopped. It would seem that I have the option of running 4GB at 1600 or 8 at 1066. I am opting for 8 at 1066 for now. If any of you have any opinions on that, please share them. Thanks to all for your help!
