random reboots and windows update issues
i have windows 7 ultimate 32bit installed on one of my computers, hardware is as follows:
- amd athlon64 4000+ cpu
- asus a8n premium motherboard
- 2 x bfg geforce 7800gtx overclocked (stock)
- 3 x 1GB PC3200 DDR SDRAM
- enermax fma II 535W power supply (SLI certified)
the windows installation goes fine, but windows will randomly restart and windows can't download most updates (downloads hang) and any downloaded updates will fail to install- Internet access appears to be fine. i tried to install a program that will verify windows update is working properly but that failed to install.
i installed windows 7 using the same install disc on another computer and i haven't had any of these issues, so i'm guessing that there's an issue with the hardware.
is there some way i can scan the hardware in the computer to verify it is compatible and working properly with windows 7? does anyone know where i might start looking for a hardware issue with the gear that i'm using?
thanks for any help with this.
