Hi everyone,

I am at war against my Windows 7 (x64) :) (not for real yet though, it is a cold war so far)
I have reinstalled it 3 times with 3 different CD's, and still have this random freezes problem.
It starts doing it right after the installation, even when updates are disabled and that I install nothing at all.

I think I am in right to assume it is not a service problem, as it has done it with 3 different CD's of windows 7 x64.
It is not a hardware problem either, as my Linux works just fine.
The computer does not overheating either.

I came across posts on forums that said I should set the voltage of my RAM memory, but I do not have access to this setting within Acer's realm.
All my drivers are up to date.
My bios has been flashed with the latest versions available of Acer's website.
Thus... I fall short on potential solutions...

Do not hesitate if you have any ideas. I am willing to try anything that could work, and won't mind you if you are wrong (oh come on I am kidding a little ! It is better with a smile anyway).
I thank you in advance for you help, of course :)

Regards !!

And wish you a very pleasant day, far from freezes :)

Are you able to , or do you already have, another partition?
If so, make a folder, called setup (or anything you fancy). Dump all the DVD files into it and run setup from there.

Hmmm... Ok I think I have not expressed well in the first message.
My installation process is working fine.

The freezes I undergo occur absolutely randomly. Sometimes the laptop is stuck after 5 minutes, sometimes I can enjoy several hours before it strikes me :)

But if it was not regarding the installation that you suggested this, I can create another partition and do so. But in that case you will need to precise your idea, as I do not know what comes next ;)

Thanks for the reply !

Hi Captain !

Thank you for your time.
Three of the files are joigned. The rest exceed the limit of the forum and will be in the following post.

Also, I have find a forum of which I have been advised to modify the power settings of my CPU.
It it is Control panel > Power Options > Edit Plan Settings > Change advanced power settings > Processor power management > Minimum processor state.

The tip would be to chage the default value from 5% to 100%
. Apparently it worked for someone, he had no more freezing problems after doing it, saying it prevented voltage variation which was the cause of his problem.

I will keep you updated if it works also for me.

Have a good day !

Rest of files

Joined here the rest of the files.
3 are missing but I cannot join or copy past them on the forum, as they are too big.
Tell me if you need them.

So Captain, is it bad ? :confused:

Sorry I did not come back on this. You expressed yourself perfectly LOL. I did not catch that it was AFTER the installation you had the problem. No need for my details!
I am sure the Capt will take care of the problem.
