This problem only happens once in a while.
This morning i was browsing the web and when I double clicked on "my computer" ( to listen to some mp3s ) the folder wouldnt open, it would just sit there until my computer would freeze. Could this be because of my hard drives? I pressed the reboot button but the comp wouldnt load to windows, it would just stay at the bios looking for my drives until I had to turn off and on my computer.
A month ago i ran a diagnostics check on my hard drives and the IBM drive has a bad cluster, so I did a low level format.
Could this also be because of my motherboard? Before i had the MSI K7T Pro2a but my newbie overclocking skillz fried it so I had to buy a new mobo from a local comp shop, its called BIOstar. And yes i formated both of my hard drives before i installed the hard drives and yes I got all the latest drivers, patchs and bios.
