No issues here. I don't do much more than develop applications with Visual Studio and SQL Server and browse the web but it works flawlessly. I haven't had a BSOD with it ever. It's rare for an application to crash but if it does it's FF and the same thing happens on XP Pro, so *shrug*

it doesnt let you move files around in a folder, it automatically snaps them into a grid which is FUCKING ANNOYING!!!!

but other than that its good

I think it works well for me, but I need more RAM... only running win7-64bit with 2 gigs ram.

I need 4.

So far no big problems with win7 (64bit, 4gig ram), but I've mentioned some slowdowns while running 3D applications. Guess it's caused by the HDD (Notebook).
Anyone made some experiences with the free Microsoft Essentials AntiVir software?

In all seriousness, there are some older apps that can cause 7 to crap out for speed and response. You just need to make sure to set them to run in compatability mode and it clears up the problem. Adobe Fireworks CS3 would be one example of an app that can cause my system to lag. I switched it over to compat. mode and it cleared that up.

I am assuming you're doing some editing and such on this PC, it isn't just your BS surf porn and read emails machine. Check your graphics related programs, almost guaranteed its one of them causing the problem sitting in memory.

had a box that crashed all the time, changed the ram, reinstalled the os... new HD and vid card... finally sold the parts off...and started oveer.. the guy I sold the stuff to told me the power supply was putting out low volts. that's probably your issue. $.02

How much power did you have and what did the buyer upgrade it to?

I wasn't able to get 1000w at the time I bought the machine without having it shipped in. Maybe it's worth a shot.

Run it since an early beta, never bluescreened or crashed once.

scarlettcontent 04-19-2010 01:35 PM

7 is better than vista but still it can be a bit slow and crash opening folders of many files or large files.

use linux you will find it much better, it doesnt crash and its free

michael.kickass 04-19-2010 01:52 PM

Really stable here, surely you have a program fucking with your processor.

not how big the power supply, how much power is coming out... due to voltage drop at the wall... 750 or 1000 is watts, not volts,... if the volts are running 100-115 instead of 120 you'll have creepy issues.. that's what happened to my machine... inconsistent volts caused it to lock up and blue screen constantly. get a 'power conditioner' so the machine gets a steady 120v... think that will solve a few issues for you

I bought a HP touchscreen computer that has Win7 on it. I don't really use it for much other than email and sometimes my music, but it seems to work fine.

Have you installed any virtual drive software such as Daemon Tools or CloneDrive? Is there an NAS attached?
