Started having freeze,lockups like a few days ago. When lockup occurs, nothing can be done other than resetting the pc. Keyboard and mouse doesnt work. Everytime the lockup occurs, harddisk light stays permanently on till i reset the pc. Most of the time, lockup occurs when i try to empty recycle bin when theres other heavy cpu utilizing applications running. Sometimes lockup occurs randomly when im watching movies and doing normal stuff.
Reformatted harddisk twice. Changed to new harddisk. Problem still occured.
Ran microsoft memory diagnostic for 6 hours. No problems found.
My pc temp is quite high which may be causing the problem but what puzzles me is that why the harddisk light stays perm on when the pc freezes. System temp = 45 Cpu temp = 65 when running cpu heavy applications.
So im thinking it might be the heat issue but what makes the harddisk light stay on when the pc freezes and why emptying harddisk makes the pc freeze.

could have been some problem with your board, usually this is what happen when the system hangs, the HDD lights stays lighted

QUOTE(8tvt @ Jul 7 2006, 11:07 AM) Ran microsoft memory diagnostic for 6 hours on loop. No errors. I was even considering graphics card to be the cause but it hangs when i empty the recycle bin most of the time so that gets the gc out of the equation.

QUOTE Ran microsoft memory diagnostic for 6 hours on loop. No errors. I'm not sure what this is but I'll rely on Memtest to confirm whether your ram is working properly or not. This is either a case of ram, motherboard or processor. My main suspect would be the ram followed by motherboard & finally processor.
