Weird problem:

I have installed Windows Vista successfully on both mine and my partners
computer. On my PC it works perfectly and without a doubt is the most stable
OS i've used.

On my partners however (Granted she's only using a Celeron 1.7ghz with 512mb
of ram) it works quite quickly however freezes every 5 minutes without
fail. It doesnt do it exactly on 5 minutes as it was my first thought it was
an auto run program doing it and it doesnt do it at any obvious application,
ie:It'll do it with i.e open, with nothing open at all, when running my
computer or control panel.

Do you have any suggestions as to what it may be or as to a possible
solution? I tried swapping video cards as i had a gut feeling that may be
the problem however that didn't make a difference.

It was 100% stable running Windows XP.

Any help would be much appreciated!! Please email me back to

Cheers!
 
"On my PC it works perfectly and without a doubt is the most stable OS i've
used" is an amazing statement! How long have you used it?

If you change video cards also make sure that a Vista driver is available.
Make sure the BIOS is up to date. Disconnect all but essential external
devices, especially usb.
