Quick one. When I boot up my system, after the posting sound, my system hangs just prior to detecting the IDE/SATA devices. When I reboot again, sometimes it fixes the problem (sometimes it doesn't) and the system proceeds normally. I am just wondering why?

Could this be due to the fact that my system is OC-ed? I had this system OC for about a year now and this problem started about a month ago. Everything runs cool and the system never crashes in windows (during hours of game play). Also, a have a fresh installed OS system. Is it sime to turn down the speed? Are there any tools which I can use to "check on" my IDE/SATA devices (aside from Sandra)?

Thanks!
