Hello, Recently my computer has been giving me blue screens and also freezing up (mouse, keyboard, nothin works, basically off but still displaying last thing). It used to do this when my graphics card was overheating but iv bought a new fan (still working) and it hasnt happend for a while. I began to think it was my DVD Drive (Pioneer) because it seemed to happen alot when burning DVDs and also seemed to happen less when it was unplugged. I recently noticed that when i try to cut/copy items from my secondary hard drive (Maxtor 200GB) it etiehr takes forever and blows the hell out of the cpu usage or just crashes the comp (freeze or bluescsreen). I also noticed that burning dvds with dats on that drive took incredibly longer and used almost 100% cpu and burning from my reg drive (WD 160GB) didnt. Most of these files are AVIs. Windwos XP Thanks, Graeme
Weird...you tried virus scans and stuff...if you only start to get them its usually something else messing it up... You might try formatting your computer...it will clear everything up and also you will be certain its a hardware problem if you get these problems after format
