I solved my problem with lowering RAM-Speed to 800, but i want to know why 1066 dont run.

Even a new BIOS from TUL Corp. didnt help.


I posted this for "TommyboyCAN" too. Maybe it can help him too but he didnt answer Fixed ur problem? Please let us know what u did

Here is the solution to stopping random lockups in Windows 7

1. Go to Start >>> Run
2. Type in msconfig and press Enter
3. Go under Services and turn off Workstation (you can alphabetize the list to easily locate this service)
4. Restart the computer

Workstation is a network service for accessing network drives - there is a bug in the .dll behind this service which locks up the system. Most home users will not need Workstation service and you can safely disable it (uncheck it under Services in msconfig screen).

I lowered my ram speed to 800 from 1066 even though it was 1066 ram some time ago because the ram got SO FLAMING HOT that i could not touch the heatsinks even with airflow. I knew it would not last long if I left it that way.

Lowering the ram speed will have maybe 0.1% speed difference on your machine in reality so I wouldn;t worry about it.

So what eventually happened with that case in the end ?

I have similar case, and also suspect on psu

UPDATE
So the new graphics card did fail last night!! So....I'm going to try a new PS, or maybe will just switch another PC, but man this is getting frustrating.
