Is there mass harddrive vacinity before/during these oddities? Overheating issues?

what do you mean by "mass harddrive vacnities"?

tristan · 08-09-2004, 05:45 PM

I would check
1: The memory, download memtest86 and run it (google it)
2: Check the hard drive, what brand hard drive do you have so I can link you?
3: CPU temp and voltages , download MBM5 (google it also)

That's me typing when (a) in bed (b) having not slept in 4 days. I meant "activities"

lol i thought you were trying to say "Vacancies" like holes where data used to be and got deleted. haha i almost was gunna say "maybe he means to defragment.." but didnt want to look stupid.

no not really...

but i reformatted again today (why? i dont know) and updated the BIOS and it seems to be working fine now (knock on wood). so maybe all it needed was the BIOS update. i was using F1 and F4 had just been released so lets hope this does it. also i think it may have been something with the graphics card drivers, so i downloaded the most recent version of those too.

so lets hope its smooth sailin and i dont mess it up again somehow!

ok so maybe that didnt work...still freezing.
last time it froze while i was running this program called Everest Home Edition, and the time before that it froze while i was talkin on AIM. I am completely out of ideas on what to do!! this is the most annoying thing in the world!

Have you checked the memory?

Was their mass harddrive activity before/during this?

JrDave2324 · 08-10-2004, 04:30 PM

ok i do not understand how to use that memtest86, and that MBM5 seems to be just like the EasyTune program that came with my mobo. so if someone could explain how to use memtest86 thatd be good. and what readings do you need from mbm5?

and i do not believe there was mass harddrive activity before it, what would be an example of that?

and i just noticed in easytune4 it says my CPU B is running at 28C, weird because its never run that low before.
