back to the original topic, I can tell, it would be the C: drive that is getting a cylinder or head messed up, to make sure it is what I assume, simply replace the drive, and dont worry about the ntldr, when you start the computer, do you hear the noise, or is only after few minutes of heavy work.... I dont think the speaker of the mobo will be ascending, the computer doesnt freeze from the mobo, but will turn the cpu off, so a blanking screen will result, and in some mobo, a blue screen with the statement,,,,heat issue, or over heating. the freezing symptoms are of a hard disc or software problem, and since the sound is a hardware matter, then the problem is of a hardware origin, the light of the HDD keeps alive, could indicate a hanged head of the harddrive stuck on the cylinder somewhere...
replace the drive, best to know, by reinstalling the old 40GB...and install windows or repair, make the usual work and intense you usually do with your computer, so you make sure it is gone for good. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Computer Tech Support" group.
