ok here is what happened:
i disconnected the old hdd (the 1 terabyte one mentioned in my original post
i connected the new 160gb hdd (western digital wd1600aajs 160gb 7200 rpm 8 mb cache sata 3.0gb/s)
the new hdd (160gb one) was formatted and i installed win 7. everything was freshly installed.
i ran assassins creed, i still froze in the same place the 1 terabyte hdd froze, twice.
same with world of warcraft, game does the same freezes even tho its a new hdd.
conclusion: its not the hard drive.
any other suggestions please?
