All was good until my fujistu HD croaked. I then bought a 60gig Maxtor
model 6Y060P0.
The installation went fine. Windows XP boots fine every time. The problem
is that periodically the system will freeze. No mouse response, no keyboard
response, no blue screen of death, just a freeze. There's no event log
errors to help me out. Any ideas? This one is really frusterating me! The
crashes don't seem to have any rhyme or reason, sometimes occuring when
browsing web sites, some times just when I have windows explorer open.
Sometimes when all apps are closed and I'm staring at the desktop.
 
Thanks for the tip.. I've tried theire powermax diagnostic. Everything
checks out ok. I re-formatted with the MaxBlast 3 from their site, so we'll
see how that goes. No freezes yet. I haven't installed any of the windows
updates yet. I'm going to play around first a bit, until I'm comfortable
that the system is stable, then install the updates one at a time, I now
have a hunch that maybe one of the updates is messing things up...
