Hard drive light goes solid red and computer locks up...
Hi everyone
for the last 2 weeks or so my computer has been locking up and freezing with the data light on the computer to go into a solid state of red.
i thought i had fixed it by trying a few other solutions i had found here on the net such as....
1. re-applying thermal paste to CPU
2. removing build up of dust
3. checking ALL connections
4. Re-installing windows
5. checking hard drive for bad sectors (which it found and fixed)
im running...
windows 7 32bit
3gb RAM
ATI HD6870
1 320GB western digital HDD
1 500GB western digital HDD ( which i think is causing the problems but its only a year old and shouldnt be failing now).
so yeaa..thats my problem..reall starting to anger me and im considering building a completley new system but this ones only a year and a half old :/ any help from you guys would be much apriciated
Thanks
Daniel.
