Hi, Thanks for all the responses. It seems that I'm not as unfortunate as it seemed at first glance, but on the other hand I'm not as good in hardwares as I thought. The lockups and freezes are gone for three days. The problem was that my 8 mm system fan was on the same power-cable as my HDD. It disturbed the drive. I linked the fan to the motherboard, it is fine at the moment. I hope my mobo will be able to supply two fans, one for CPU and one for system. I would have never thought that a 8mm fan can disturb a HDD's power supply. TIA. Cheers, Tamas Sarga Sárga Tamás -- Make the world confused! Zavard össze a világot! Smile on monday morning!
