    PC locks up when i use the scroll wheel ?

    Why would you post that in this thread and not start your own? But as to your question ........ Ive had 2 OS's on 2 different partitions before and could boot from either one so im sure it would be the same with doing it with 2 hard drives. If im wrong ..... im sure one of the more...

    I downloaded memtest86 but it just kept re-booting my PC. I then tried Windows Memory Diagnostic and it ran fine and found no errors. Are the any test programs for CPU's or Power Supplies or Motherboards?

    PC locks up when i use the scroll wheel ?

    Well i hooked the mouse up by USB instead of the ps2 adapter and it seems to have taken care of the scrolling crashes ........ but the system is still unstable and stutters and locks up and beeps and clicks right before hand. Ive been talking about that problem in another thread about a raid...

    Mirrored Raid Array with multiple partitions Questions?

    I took the old disk completely out of the system and did a fresh install with the 2 new disks. The thing keeps beeping and clicking every time i click on something or do anything .......... and i believe its my power supply causing that. I unhooked one of the drives and it stopped doing it...

    Mirrored Raid Array with multiple partitions Questions?

    PC locks up when i use the scroll wheel ?

    Im running XP Pro and actually looked there. It says my HD has a bad block ........ thats why im replacing it with two 120 gigs and setting up a mirrored raid. Is there any fix's for a bad bock? Just not sure if this drive is usable now or not.

    PC locks up when i use the scroll wheel ?

    Im replacing my hard drives anyway but was just curious if anyone has heard of this and what may be causing it. I can reproduce it every single time. When i scroll the mouse wheel ....... I hear a beep from my PC and in 30 seconds it locks up and i have to do a hard shut down and restart.
