Whenever I load windows XP, it takes me about 6-7 minutes just to get to the desktop. What happens is the drive stops working and just sits there for about 4-5 minutes doing nothing. The HDD light is on but theres no activity. Then out of the blue it decides to load. I've tried BootVis but theres no indication of the culprit or I'm not reading it right.
Secondly, if I leave my computer on idle without any mouse movements or activity the whole system will begin to freeze up the minute i return. It was start by responding 100% until I close a window then it will not close, and then the start menu dies and eventually the mouse hardlocks as well. I have a feeling most of this has to do with a bad HDD and have no problems replacing it. I just want to know if there is anything else I can do to help regain stability. I am overclocked right now @ 3.2 but regardless if I'm OC'd or at stock I still have the same problems.
My specs as follows
E6600 @ 3.2 Ghz 1.3Vcore
PC2-6400 XMS2 Dominator 2x1gb 2.1V
eVGA 680i SLI
2x7900gt 256 SLI
SB audigy 2
Scythe Ninja Plus
200 GB Seagate Barracuda
OEM LG DVD-RAM
