I have this reoccurring problem with my computer. This started about 1 day ago.
First I have Windows Xp/ Windows Vista. Each have their own seperate harddrives. Xp is a 120 GB, Vista 40 GB.
When I boot my computer up into Windows XP, It will work fine for about 10 - 15 minutes then is seems like it gets a little sluggish. It takes a little bit to load to the next internet explorer screen or load any programs. Then all of the sudden it will just freeze up. It will not respond to any thing, The cursor will still move around but I cannot click on anything. If I do click really fast the whole screen will lock up and I cannot move the cursor and A constant noise will be coming from the tower "kinda loud buzzing noise". Then I must manually reboot the computer and the whole ordeal will happen again.
If I boot into Vista, "which I am currently on" I do not get any issues or problems, Everything runs fine and well and I have no issues.
This is why I figured it was from the 120GB harddrive.
I have a Dell XPS 410
About 2 or so years old
Intel Core 2 CPU
2.00 GB Ram
Nvidia GeForce 9600 GT
I went into XP and did a command prompt with chkdsk and chkdsk /f. It took about an hour for chkdsk /f but it didn't come up with anything. (checking for bad blocks)
If anyone has an idea of what may be going on or a way to fix this issue please reply.
