Strange freezes

[MrBishop]

Ok...
So, I'm working with my compi...only two windows open (Here and there). I get a weird freeze in my system. Slowdown, speedup, slowdown freeze. I reboot...suddenly XP can't find my HD and tries to boot to CD.

I shut'er down...wait a bit...restart and no problems.

Might it be a heating issue? Perhaps something else?

Tell me you're at work.

 

[MrBishop]

Sorry...I'm at home.

The start of a HD going bad, perhaps? Just in case, I'd back 'er up.

 

[MrBishop]

Might be it.... it's an old 20GB. Luckily I have enough CDs/

I still have my 40GB as a secondary HD with 22GB free ATM.

Though any help is appreciated and I still want to buy you that beer.

Not sure, haven't bought any yet. I needed a burner at work for DVDs and this was on the liquidation table for $60 (lite-on) so I grabbed it. DVDs are about a buck a piece.

 

[tommyj27]

i pay < $ .50 for the standard single-layer, i don't know that i've seen DL discs for any less than $4 a piece, they seem to lurk in the $4-8 range.

Still beats hell outta the price for 8G Travan tapes.
