I think it's possibly because of this driver AMD Processor Driver Version 1.3.2.0053 for Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 (x86 and x64) it did say that it was incompatible with this OS but i just ran this in compatibility mode [XP SP3) and then it installed and told me to restart. I didn't notice any changes and so i uninstalled it (only way to uninstall was to click the installer again because it kept saying that my OS wasn't supported) So it uninstalled but now... im experiencing ''Freeze''.

Could this be my newly installed Zone Alarm Pro??
Could this be this driver that didn't uninstall correctly?
Could this be a hardware problem? overheating?

I CAN use the pc without any freeze at all in safe mode & also safe mode with networking
I am actually using the PC at the moment in safe mode w/ networking

OS: Windows 7 Ultimate 32bit [Final Version]
3G RAM
AMD Athlon 64 3800+
Graphics Card: GeForce 8600GT (running @ x8 PCI-E)
Security Software: Zone Alarm Pro , Prevx with Edge , Microsoft Security Essentials & Built in Microsoft Windows Defender

For a start i will uninstall Zone Alarm Pro and update my post if it cured the problem or not

EDIT: Seems to be fixed now ! :). That uninstallation of ZA seems to of fixed it. However, Prevx is reporting to me that it is disabled. Weiiird (it did that before too, anyways it's fixed, ill stay away from everything for now)
