Hello all,
I have my self build computer over 6 months now and it always worked nice.
I had Vista(ultimate) 64 bit at first, after a month formatted it, reinstalled vista
then formatted again in october.
Then I installed XP, but i didn't like it anymore so back to vista.
Now i have that vista install since october. But now all of a sudden it starts hanging at around 1 minute after boot.
It just freezes and I can't do anything anymore. No error logs or w/e.
I tested my RAM and it's fine, my PSU also. And it only happens when i boot into 'Normal Windows'. Now i'm in the save mode and it doesn't hang.
Is there something wrong with the vista install??
I really don't want to format again.
I hope you can help me.
Thx

EDIT: Just updated Video Drivers; doesn't help

I have 2 Geforce 9800GTX cards and have installed Vista on a second partition of the same HDD and PC, this version works fine and it has the same gfx drivers as my other one. So that can't be the problem.
