I turned on my file sharing for my windows 7 x64 desktop yesterday.
Since then I have had 3 lockups (the mouse works but there is no
response otherwise). I was using the standard device drivers
installed by windows x64.

I went to the intel website for my intel d975xbx2 motherboard and
confirmed that I have the latest BIOS. I also found a vista x64
network device driver and installed that over the standard MS
device driver for the motherboard intel pro/1000 pl network
connection. So far, I have yet to lockup my pc but the day is
young. Does anyone have any advice here ?

My cpu is an Intel Q9650 running at 3 Ghz and I have 4 GB of
Kingston HyperX ram in two sticks.

Thanks,
Lynn McGuire

Figured out that I had a 2008 BIOS (the latest for this MB) and
a 2009 CPU. Bought a new motherboard and my problems went away.

interesting.. I run a D975XBX2 as well and had no problems with any flavor
of xp,vista or windows 7 be it 32 or 64... probably the fastest was windows
7 ultimate 64

Well, I was premature. I am still locking up. I have removed the Eset NOD32
antivirus system and installed the Microsoft Security Essentials.
