I have a 20gb Western Digital HDD, but am experiencing some rather disconcerting problems. I have a 700 classic athlon and 64mb of cheap ram (will upgrade soon). For awhile I oc'd my system through FSB achieving 110FSB, but my RAM PC133 RAM couldn't take the increased frequency, so I run it at 100. Initially I noticed that drive was getting really hot, so I bought a HDD cooler form coolerguys.com. When before it tooke maybe 50 secs to boot up it now takes almost 2 mins. When the Win98SE boot screen is up there HDD activity light isn't active for almost a min. Boot up time I can live with, crashes I cannot for it crashes after almost everything. I tried re-formatting and repartitioning using FDISK, but no good, each time I reinstall windows it seems to get slower. No bad sectors are being shown, but I beleive it is a mechanical failure. Any suggestions, or should I just get an IBM? Thanks
