    periodic hang

    I am getting a periodic hang in Windows Vista x64. If I have the system running for more that 18 hours, sometimes the system will hang while gaming and i will get a high pitched whine on my headphones. Also, sometimes it will just hang if the system has been sitting a long time and won't wake up.

    I suspect that the problem lies with my memory.

    My system has an ASUS P5N32-E SLI MOBO with an E6600 OCed to 3.2 GHz. My memory is OCZ DDR2-1066 memory clocked at 1066 (4 1 GB sticks).

    Do you think I should try to replace the memory?

      Set your CPU to its stock speed and see if the issue disappears. I've encountered all sorts of similar freezes and loopy issues when overclocking.

        This. Overclocks are the #1 cause of lockups.
