I just did a fresh install of Windows XP Pro.

- It seems to freeze whenever try to:

- access Security Center (window opens partially and freezes)
- access the Windows Activation (window opens partially and freezes)
- some downloads

I just got my motherboard and was wondering if there may be something wrong with it.. anyone experienced this before?

Setup for my Box:

- Soyo KT880 Dragon2 ver2.0
- 2x512 Samsung PC3200 with TCCC chips
- Timed at 2.5-3-3-6 Tried at 1T and 2T command
- 256MB Enyah GeForce FX NVidia 5700LE
- 160Gigs Raid0 as Boot Device 16k stripe
- Partitioned as 60 gigs for XP Pro and 100Gigs for Files
- 120Gigs for files
- Diablo 550W ATX Power Supply with 12V Connector connected.

I don't know what could be wrong.. I've tried playing around with the BIOS settings.. ran memtest at no errors.. This is ticking me off.. I first noticed this after the install and when it loaded up the section that normally loads up after first install, it froze up... and it keeps on freezing up whenever I do certain tasks... grrrrr.. I'll try to keep you updated if I notice anything else.

Please HELP!!!!!!!!!
