Try this, Turn off the standby function.

Right click on the desktop, Properties, Screen Saver, Power options.

If it's allready off, Make sure the hdd never spin down

ok, run a memory test

ive been looking around and it seems to happen with amd dual cores and corsair xms memory

no, but the processor that I had in here before was a 3800+ so it was still a dual core... ill run that test

For some reason it wont let me install the program, can you get on aim and send me the .exe?

[razor5070]

well from what ive seen, the memory buffer goin into the proc get's corrupted for no apperent reason.

I run intel all around, so i don't have an amd machine to test my theory.

Just cause the screen saver? Cause it has not froze since I shut the screen saver off..

AMD CPU's and 4 sticks of RAM tend to have some issues iirc.

Try taking two sticks out and see what it does.

It worked fine the whole time I had my 3800+ installed... and the only thing that is happening is that my computer freezes after the screen saver is on for a long amount of time...
