Windows XP Pro oem.
My problem is when i install any virtual machine Sun or Microsoft it makes my computer freeze completely up when it is in use at game sites or anything that uses Java. I have to use the reset button to reboot. I have reinstalled and tried with no other programs installed except drivers and have the same problem. I have updated XP and all the system devices even the bios. I have tried several versions of drivers for all my hardware. Tried a different video card Nvidia geforce 5200fx, hard drive, ram Crucial PC2100 DDR, and have disabled the onboard sound,lan, and firwire. Still it freezes. Sometimes it will go for a few hours with the Microsoft virtual machine but freezes eventually. I have a fan blowing in the side of the computer in case of a heat problem. The cpu temp in the bios shows 32 degrees F. The system temp is 37 degrees F. I have tried all sorts of diagnostic programs, Windows Updates,driver updates, online test such as PC Pitstop which gives me a passing score for everything. Sisoft Sandra tells me the pci latency is to high and I can not find a way to change it in the bios as it describes. Any suggestions would be welcome. Thanks in advance, Dan.
