Whistler Locks up !?

This is a discussion about Whistler Locks up !? in the Windows Hardware category; I dont understand what happens. I can run Quake 3,Counter Strike, while running other programs. and try to do just about anything to Run the hell outta Whistler. But when i am just sitting there running IE or talking on AIM or Downloading it will just turn to a blue screen and restart.

But when i am just sitting there running IE or talking on AIM or Downloading it will just turn to a blue screen and restart... i have no idea what happenes. If anyone knows of this problem lemme know... oh and i also get a bad or corrupted file when i install... it tells me that it wont effect the install or startup so i just click "ok" is this a known problem or should i try to find another copy???
Thanks , Sparkhard

Pre-beta..lol. The errors after install I think every one gets them, I did. Blue screens well could be somthing you installed after maybe. I installed Whistler on 2 dif computers and no lockups or blue screens yet.
Maybe it is your copy. There should be a better beta in OCT.

Since Whistler is based on the same code than WinNT/2000, you could try to Disable EXTERNAL CACHE in your bios. This can make your system more stable (but you will lose a bit of performance).
