Hi guys,
I have recently added a new 250GB SATA HD and a new DVD Writer to my machine and since then I seem to be experiencing an odd problem.
When I am using the machine and especially when I am multitasking at certain times the machine freezes.. and I mean freeze.. No mouse or keyboard response.. the num lock light (usually a good indicator as it uses an simple interrupt) stops responding.. then about 10 seconds later it continues all keyboard/mouse response returns as if nothing has happened?
Has anyone experienced this before as it is baffling me... I am naturally suspicious of the new devices however the symptoms are odd for a power related problem..
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Chris
