Built a new computer, keeps crashing for no reason

yes, here is a link to download

http://gparted.sourceforge.net/download.php

 

So, I was able to reformat the computer again..

But when I reinstall Vista, the computer gets to the point where im putting in the date and time and the user names, but after that loads, the computer will crash again...

i put the XP disc in and I was able to start installing it, but I decided to just reformat and try vista. I think ill go back and just use XP...

 

Because it crashes randomly, its probably a bad or overheating component, I'd guess you got a bad stick of ram. I'd trim it down to one stick and swap it out to try and see if one has a problem

 

**Update**

hey guys, i reverted the computer back to XP and guess what? it works just fine. no crashing no freezing, no blue screen. Everything worked fine and all the installations went on without a hitch. There is only one problem to resolve and that is my sound issue.

Im using the 2 stereo speakers and whenever i do anything that requires sound, nothing comes from the speakers. But when i use the gigabyte sound center that came with the drivers CD for the mobo, the sound works fine when I press the test button. The program detects the speakers from the back, but sites such as youtube or my media player doesnt geta peep. So to sum it up, sound works when I press the sound test button using the gigabyte program, but when running normal programs, I dont get any sound. any help with this problem would be awesome! same specs as the first time, only this time im running XP.

 

great. you will be better off with xp anyway, it is better for gaming. for you sound try downloading the newest drivers and try it again.

 

Would gigabytes site have it? cause i was googling around and couldnt get anything that would help

 

i have REV.2 which files do i download from that link?

 

should i just install this instead of the one from the mobo disc?
