Ok so I got a Gateway GT5252...
and recently It seems like the harddrive is constantly at 100% no matter what I am doing, I leave it on occasionally over night and when I wake up its off (power options should never turn it off) and or if its not off the only thing thats still going is the harddrive... seek times are rediculous, everything I try to do is a hassle. it takes forever to do anything if it lets you and doesnt cancel the app before it opens, it took forever to open firefox on that comp so im on my laptop, and thats when firefox opens and doesnt lock up. I really have no idea what it could be...I KNOW its not a power issue i put a 500W power supply in...anybody have any idea whats going on, Im thinking about just wiping the whole thing out and trying on my own from scratch but I dont think that will fix the HD errors...
My event log sayson one of the errors) The device detected a controller error on \Device\Harddisk\2\D
anyhelp would be great
Specs:
AMD Athlon 4600+ X2
2 Gigs of ram
300GB HD
uhmm anything else you need let me know
