Hi, i will try to make this brief
). about an hour ago i was using my pc, browsing the net when all the sudden firefox started using all my resources and my computer just froze.
This is what happened next:
-it rebooted to windoze xp but froze again
-i rebooted
-my computer did not detect the hard drive
-it would not detect a drive for about 5 boots
-on the 6th try it found it and booted to windows, but it froze again right away and ran really slow.
-i checked to see if my sata cable came loose, changed it to another connection on my motherboard, dismounted the hd and reconnected everything
-i got it to find it safe mode so i could back things up
-the buffer level on nero kept fluctuating and it took 3-4x as long to burn the files.
-this made me think something is wrong with my hd, along with the crashes.
-system restore will also not work though it was just working the day before.
-the thing is, im using it now in windows just fine, except its still not finding the drive on about every other boot, and when i try to do things like burn a cd or disk cleanup, it takes FOREVER.
-i did a virus and spyware check too.
what do you think?
THANKS!! any help would be appreciated
