oc'n result in harddrive troubles?

[puppetmasta]

could oc'n your system result in harddrive complications? i recently got a new harddrive and have been having some problems with it. I've made sure to click DMA in device manager etc. but my computer continously lags whenever i try to do anything. Like even load webpages and just open applications, is this the harddrive that is doing it or a problem with the board or anything else. If it is important i had my cpu oc'd for about a year and i just took it down to stock to see if that would help, it didnt. 🙁 if anyone knows that would be great because multitasking is impossible right now, thanks.

There could be a multitude of problems causing this. Since you have brought your clocking speeds back to spec, I don't think that this is the problem. You could have a virus, problems with drivers, corrupt windows, bios version, etc, etc.

well, i have mcafee virus scan on and its not showing anything, i just reinstalled windows and i've had it working just fine before. I have the same drivers as i have in the past but i still cant figure out what it is... 🙁
