Thanks for the reply. 
I'll defrag as soon as I finish my patrol! 
No, kidding, defragging now!  |
Yep it does sound like a hard drive error it might be overheating working so hard you may need a desk fan to blow some cool air around it :hmm: |
great suggestion ...I was also thinking that it might not be a bad idea to clean the heat sink for the cpu and apply new thermal past too (if yours uses thermal paste instead of the lil sticky pad) |
Thanks for all the help, just one more thing:
Is it advisable to open the side panel and let a desk fan through.
OR
DIY the side panel and cut a hole in it and sticking a 12 V fan.
It gets hot around here, up to above 95°F! 
Again thanks!  |
You would laugh at my tower...I have around four fans in the chassy and one in the power supply. There are also 2 on my x1950 video card. This thing sounds like a jet plane and you can here it outside my house when its running. Having said that I built her myself, but shell be six years old this fall. Im looking into building a new top of the line system after christmas. Would you believe that I actiually play SH3 and Rainbow Six Vegas with all the details cranked up on this machine? Its a 1.6ghz athlon overclocked to 1.9., 200gig harddrive with 1.5 gigs of ram. The best thing I ever did for this machine was strip all the covers off it (its just a aluminum frame now) and put a volcano 12 fan on the CPU...no more heat problems
