Damn stupid thing froze up on me twice while ripping a cd. The first time it got through 6 songs. Then I decided I wanted to encode them at a higher bitrate. So I was ABOUT to stop it. Then it froze. So I rebooted. Waited for it to boot up. Finally after awhile of watching Scandisk it loaded. Then I pop the cd back in and begin to rip it. During the frist 5 seconds, it locks up again. Same process. But this time I said f*ck it and here I am, writing this. Boy I really need to find a Socket-A board so I can finally finish my new comp!
