    Windows 7 Constant Freezing


    Hi everyone, I recently upgraded to Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, from Vista 64-bit. So far, the OS has been unusable. I've not been able to get it running for more than an hour without randomly freezing up. My event log lists Kernal-Power Event ID 41 as the problem. Also, when I checked my device manager, it tells me that I have no coprocessor driver. When I try to update to the lastest drivers, it tells me something like it can't find them or they're unknown.

    So far I have upgraded my nVidia drivers to the lastet version (195.62) and set my power usage to High-Preformance. Neither of these things have solved the problem.

    My Specs:

    Gateway GT5678
    Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
    Intel Core 2 Q6600 Quad Processor (2.4GHz)
    4GB DDR2
    750GB
    GeForce 9800 GTX

    Any help is greatly appreciated as I cannot use my computer AT ALL (I'm using the family laptop ATM).

    Have you tried updating your motherboard drivers?

    No, I haven't tried that because I don't know where to get them.

    Alot of Vista drivers are compatabile with Windows 7.
    If you can find the manufactor of your motherboard and check their site for a Windows7 driver to see if their is in fact one.

    You can try the Vista driver,it should work,just back up your data just incase something goes wrong:)

    Unfortuantely, I cannot download anything. I simply don't have time, the computer is freezing after 5 minutes of being on or less. I have no idea how to fix this.

    However, I went in too safe mode and I noticed that it said Windows 7 build 7600 at the top. I had downloaded that build months ago and it did the exact same thing, constant freezing. That is why I went out and bought the Home Premium version. I figured that when I installed Home Premium, it would erase build 7600 and I would have a working version of Windows 7. I guess I was wrong, how can I get it off my computer because I think that could be the issue...

    I'm having the same problem, mine isnt as frequent and only seems to happen while im using the computer, if i leave it on all day to seed torrents i come home and its fine, but it could freeze 20 minutes later, or not at all that night.
