Win_7 64-Bit: disappointment???
Hello there!
From what i read over the web the vast majority of problems are encountered on windows 7 64-bit platforms... Why is that?
I personally have faced all kind of issues: BSOD, hangs, freezes, reboots, no boot-ups!!!
Currently i am at the third (clean) installation of windows which was done with the following setup: SATA configuration=RAID, JMicron=AHCI and Memory Remap enabled.
It was also done with only 1 out of 4 RAM DIMMS installed (in total 8 Gb) since i found errors in 2 of them (Memtest-boot_CD) and decided to keep only one for the installation. However, when i thought it went nice i again got an automatic reboot.
Since then i've been getting freezes every single time i am in windows. And also one BSOD showing "page_ fault_in_nonpage_area" when the pc was totally idle. I am running XMP#1 Profile that sets factory settings for my remaining error-free 2 RAM modules (12&18 hours with no errors in Memtest).
From the very first installation i thought there was sth wrong with the memory remap feature since it seemed that with that disabled the system was doing better.
Not any more... Just had another freeze with memory remap disabled while downloading updates via windows update (just got internet today!!!!).
Right now i am running HDD Diagnostics from Seagate and am therefore not in position to "attach" any minidumps. But i will do soon.
Thanks...
Oh! and HEEEELP...
