1272026 2012-05-13 08:29:00 You did a clean install right? Not install Windows over itself? What BIOS is on it now?? Speedy Gonzales (78)
1272027 2012-05-13 09:00:00 Umm does this support speedstep?? Look in the BIOS. If its enabled, disable it Speedy Gonzales (78)
1272028 2012-05-14 06:00:00 You did a clean install right? Not install Windows over itself? What BIOS is on it now??Yes clean installed both times (incl format from Windows setup). Not sure what BIOS is there - probably the original (I've had bad experience updating BIOS in the past so I steer clear of updating it).

I don't think I've seen Speedstep in there before, but I'll take a look next time.

I will have to wait a week to see if they work for me - I'm not as fortunate as you !!

1272032 2012-05-23 12:33:00 My work PC still froze again but for almost a week have now been running putty (ssh) as administrator no probs. as yet - do you have any old Win XP apps running that are not as Administrator that might be suspicious? Ofthesea (14129)
1272033 2012-05-23 19:31:00 My work PC still froze again but for almost a week have now been running putty (ssh) as administrator no probs. as yet - do you have any old Win XP apps running that are not as Administrator that might be suspicious?No dodgy apps - this was happening on a totally clean Win 7 install. It's not a software problem.

Cheers,
Mike.
