CPU-Z freezing at 15% is a known issue. possible workarounds:
1. Use CPU-Z v1.59 or earlier - 1.59 is the last version without that issue
2. reinstall windows - fresh install will load latest cpu-z until at some point it somehow starts freezing again
3. use cpu-z vintage edition - that one validates and doesn't freezeI usually go with option 2 - i got a slim windows xp install (i call it "bench xp") and made an image of that. as soon as it startes freezing cpu-z i'll just write the image back and start over. usually that happens after a crash/freeze or when i'm booting the system at slightly unstable settings.
The percentage seems to differ across versions but the freeze always happens at CPU, and one thing I noticed - only on Athlon XP. For instance, my other boards go past that - KG7-RAID, ST6, P4B533-E. Version 1.57 (I think the same version supercordo uses) is where I could get past the freeze.
As for the Windows install - it's as stock as MCE2005 gets - outside visual stuff (Zune theme, Kaela Kovalskia wallpaper) it's pretty much stock, save for a Ford Racing 3 game install I usually used to test R3xx/RV350/360 cards for stability.
