Windows 7 Prof. 64-bit Freezes/Programs Not Responding
My computer has Windows 7 64-Bit installed (I have upgrade disk, but formatted hdd and did a custom/complete install rather than upgrade). It's been working wonderfully until the past week or so.
In the past week, Microsoft Outlook (2003) and Internet Explorer 8 started freezing and displaying "Program Not Responding" for about 2-3 minutes. It was happening mostly when I just started my machine, but now happens all the time, on most programs, and is now freezing in upwards of 5-10 minutes at a time.
I don't know if this has anything to do with it, but noticed that my memory is not on EVGA's supported memory list for this motherboard. In addition, the BIOS is only autodetecting it at 1066mhz, rather than 1600. (I can manually set that and can set for overclocking, but not sure if I should)
