I've built 3 pcs before, but my current one I wanted to use for recording is giving me so much hassle it's not even funny.
I could go into specs if anyone is EXTREMELY intrigued, but basically its a Q6600 with 4 gb of ram, all that good stuff.
Anyways, when I was in vista, I was having a ton of problems. Microsoft Explorer would randomly crash, my computer would randomly restart, and running cubase or anything like that was pretty much not an option. (ez drummer or Cubase would always crash.)
After trying to deal with all that, I finally gave up. Moved back down to XP. Bought a new hardrive, so now I have one with vista and one with XP, in case I ever want Vista again.
But I'm still having problems. When doing a big session in cubase, my computer will randomly restart and give me a blue screen, but it doesn't display long enough to read the error message. Cubase has also been crashing. I just don't know what to do. This never happened on the other PC's I've built for friends, but the one I build for me is giving me all these troubles?
I've done all the sensible things. Checked my ram (passed all tests), I've updated bios/drivers on everything, all the windows updates, everything. I'm completely baffled as to how I can get this machine to run without crashing during demanding projects. I know this is VERY vague, but anyone?
