I recently built a new PC for my wife
ASUS M4A785-M
Athlon II X4 630 Quad Core Processor
Corsair XMS2 1024MB PC6400 DDR2 800Mhz X2
A new (ish) Segate SATA 500GB
Clean install of Windows 7 Home Premium.
Started installing some of her old games (scratched dirty CD's) some of the installs would hang. Hit Ctrl>Shift>Esc. Task Manager would come up but no Applications would show as running. Tried clicking Process tab and Performance tabs. there is a "Not Responding" message in the header. I can't close task manager. Opening a new session does the same thing. the only way to close task manager and the hung install is to log off.
Even if I try bringing up task manager with no hung applications just to look at my system performance it stll does the same thing.
Any Ideas?
