    well, they linked my two orders and are only going to pricematch one... can I just refuse the order (the one at 97$) at delivery and pay nothing for that order?

    (Dead) Maxtor 80GB 8MB Hard Drive for $34.98 after PM to Best Buy & coupon no rebate at Staples

    System hard locks a lot! running winXP.

    make sure you try with only video card, hard drive, cdrom installed in order to isolate the problem. my guesses in order: 0) how is the temperature on your cpu? 1) 3com NIC is conflicting with something 2) is the shuttle the sis 735 chipset? try a forum specific to shuttle, or check out ECS...
