Windows Freezes, no BSOD
I finally have my new system up and running, the problem is, it seems to randomly freeze - mouse locks up, keyboard can do nothing, but there is no BSOD, the page I am on (whether it be desktop or internet) just stays frozen.
Added to this, I cannot install anymore windows updates - the first bunch were installed fine, but the 8 remaining all fail with error (800D0100 or something like that -at work so cannot see)
Oddly, the freezing seems to happen when at desktop, internet or even when windows is loading - once I am in a game and playing I seem to go without any problems.
Finally, I had issues installing the latest ATI drivers (10.3) the display drivers would not install and I had to use the 10.2.
I have a sneaky suspicion my Video card may be involved in the freezing issues - I always kept away from ATI in the past, this is the first time I have used one in a long time and it already having given me issues with downloading its display drivers has me wary.
My system is
MSI P55-CD53
Intel i5-750
ATI 5850 GPU
2 x 2gig 1600Mhz RAM
Sony Dual Layer DVD Drive
500Gb Hard drive
750W Powercool PC750UM, Modular
Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit
Any advice that can be given is greatly appreciated.
