Hi,

The problem started in the last couple of months, at first Vista was crashing occasionally when the system was left idle for a time, recently windows explorer kept crashing and every so often it freezes completely and the mouse doesn't respond it's just dead.

I have fresh installed twice and it is still crashing. The last occasion it crash I had not installed any drivers or software just added updates for graphics display and sound ect....

I have done a disk check all disks which appear to have come out ok check for viruses. I did update the bios a few months back, I'm not tottally sure if that was the problem or not but it's a possibility.

The problem with the bios is if I go to the website for the Nforce board it gives me about four different Bios files. Will check that tho.


Also since the first time I had to reinstall the right click doesn't work properly, I have to click the right mouse button 3,4,5 or 6 times before the menu pops up. No matter how many reinstalls I do that has never been resolved.

PROCESSOR: Intel Core 2 Duo Desktop Processor E8400
MEM: Corsair TWIN2X2048-6400 2x 1GB
MOBO: XFX NFORCE LT 680I SLI
GPU: MSI N9600GT-T2D1G-OC

Thanks in advance for your help.

Try taking out 1 stick of RAM and loading it up.

Vista is known to have multiple obscure problems when using two sticks. (You can put it back in once you've installed and restarted a couple of times though)
