    I've been having on going on/off "freezes" or "stalls" in windows vista x64 for a while now, but I have not found a reason why until now... (that i've had to reinstall after my registry being corrupted).

    I'm currently on windows vista x64 (not-sp1 yet), freshly installed with only about 70-ish updates via windows updater.

    I've been monitoring my machine using the reliability monitor with vista for cpu/disk/network/memory graphs, and found that at the time of my system lockups, /application freezes, memory hardfaults spike up to the hundreds, per application, requiring about 1-2 minutes to settle itself.

    Anyone know what's wrong??
    System /Specs.
    AW-M15X
    Windows Vista Ultimate x64 - Full Retail
    4Gb Ram
    120 GB SuperTalent SSD.
    Nvidia Gforce 8800M GTX

    I realize that my SSD is probably part of the faulty JMicron builds( ?) but does that really explain the memory hardfaults???

    thanks.

    To get the SP1 without going through the rigmarole of serial updating, download the SP1 before you do the clean install, keep it on a flash drive or whatnot, then after the install, do not let the system near the internet - other than to validate the OS copy with Momma MS - before you install SP1. The manual install package can be d/led from here but be forewarned - it's a 5-language behemoth at 726MB. That'll be a pain in the tuckus, but it will avoid the need to start dancing around with the automatic update devils.
