Hello All,
I am wondering about my HDD. For about the last week my system has become very unstable and I am thinking that its my HDD although I really don't know as its only an educated guess 🙂
Here are the symptoms, when I go to the log-on screen as I have my system set p for my daughter, wife and myself after selecting myself it takes frigg'n forever and a day to finally get into Windows and when I do it is impossible to use as everything takes about 2-minutes to complete its task.
But whats weird is sometime I can get into Windows and everything runs great like right now as I am using my computer to type this but I know that it will do that slow thing soon.
Here is what I have done so far, I have reinstalled Windows (XP) and it still does it also disconnected all of the extra hardware that I was using so as of right now I have my keyboard and mouse being used and it still does it too.
it could be my P/S which is a 500W compusa (don't laugh) its been working great for over a year now, also I put in an ATI Radeon X800 too about one month ago and have been playing UT2004 all of the TIME with no problem at all, thats why I kinda thought it could be my HDD.
BTW, my HDD is only about 7 months old.
Thanks for your help, CA
