bascially, once a day vista locks up. the songs im playign start to start and stop, and i ahev to wait about 10mins for it to finish. i can just bout get to the task manager within 5 mins, but even shutting off explorer.exe and restarting it has no affect. and system idle proccesses go into the 90's for CPU usage.

atm i have an E2140 OCed to 3.2GHz.

should i put a fresh install of vista down?

If so how would i do it w.o loosing all my files? i have only one 320GB HDD, and all my installations storgae etc are on there. and i dont have ny spare DVDs to burn.

ALSO, if i jsut get an OS drive or partition this with about 20GB jsut for vista, can i have my docs, program files, music videos, pictures ETC (storage and installations) on the other drive? so if i need ot reinstall vista, all the games and proggies will still be there?
 
since i have overclocked it from 375 on the FBS to 410, i havent had the lock up for a day.

i am thinking of installing vista 64bit, so maybe ill give that a shot and see if it still happens.
