hi!

i have this problem where my system freezes every once in a while, with nothin to do to any specific progs or actions.

sometime i can hear the HD turns off and on and after 2 min it freezes.
than i have to shutdown with the physical button, and sometimes on the reeboot the system doesnt reconizes the HD. i managed to solve that by disconnecting all the usb's and load the default on the bios.

i took it to a lab twice and the replaced the HD and the mother board but the problem persists.

any ideas?

thanks.

Try swapping the power supply (with a higher wattage unit).
