Hi all, I am about to go crazy. My computer has been freezing lately and i cant pinpoint the problem. It seems everytime i run a search on the harddrive it freezes, or anytime sitting at the desktop for a long period of time it will freeze. I've ran a hard drive diagnostic test and it came...

Hey all, I've decided to purchase a 74gb WD Raptor SATA drive and need a SATA controller because my Epox 8rda+ motherboard does not have onboard SATA. I've done a little research, and found this: http://www.pacificdigital.com/talon/ I guess it's specifically designed to improve...

Hey all, I have just recently replaced my AMD XP Barton 2500+ for a AMD XP-Mobil Barton 2400+, and am running the 2400+ at 11x200. I ran Prime95 for over 15 hours without a problem until the machine froze. I thought the freezing was a result of the stress test, but pretty much every night...
