^ These are all my new things.
My PSU = http://www.newegg.co...ID=3463938&SID=
My mobo = BIOSTAR Group TA790XE
RAM = 4.0GB Dual-Channel DDR2 @ 400MHz (5-5-5-16)
^ Existing hardware. The Biostar TA790XE is relatively new to the system.
Whatever I'm doing and whenever I'm doing something, it grinds to a sudden halt. Literally, the sound makes a repetitious noise and everything freezes up. No ALT+Tab, no Ctrl Alt Delete, no Blue Screen of Death. My OS is Vista 64.
Some clues: It doesn't ever freeze in safe mode or at the windows login screen. Once I get to the desktop? A grinding halt in <30 seconds.
Also, this has been suggested to me:
did you read or do this first.
If you plan to upgrade processor from your existing unit, please update bios first before changing or upgrading processors.

Yet I don't know what to do with that information, or if it's relevant.
Please help.
