System Freezes - Why?

Here's the system:

Abit KT7 RAID
Duron 700 retail
128 meg Crucial RAM CAS 2
Voodoo 3 3000 AGP
SB Live Value
Toshiba DVD S1402
Maxtor 40 plus - 15gig
Windows ME

Here is what is happenning:

The system is freezing. Not constantly, but enough to notice. The pattern seems pretty random, but always when the HD is in use.

I have Scan Disked, Defraged, Refomatted, screwed with the BIOS settings, updated all the drivers. Same problem.

I ran Maxtor's HD utilities and it showed nothing wrong with the drive.

Any ideas?
 
My Intellimouse Explorer took it's time going bad! Took 2 weeks of rerormat, Norton Utilities, different ram, slots, IRQS...drove me nuts! It was the damn mouse...
 
Heat is definitely not the problem. My Duron is sitting there at 31-32C. Even when I took it up to 850mhz, the temp never got over 37C.
