I have recntly developed A problem, my computer will "freeze" up sometimes the hardrive will just quit working and I can move the mouse at other times both lock up...if I gently jiggle the tower it will start working again...what's causing this? It is obviously hardware...do I need to replace my IDE cables or my hardrive?
