Recently installed new Samsung SATA HDD (SP0812C). Had a Radeon 9600XT, no problems before. But then, when watching movies, or browsing web, installing drivers fro video card, the computer freezes with no possibility to recover, only with Reset button. Now i instaled Windows on non-SATA drive, seems everything OK. Also had no problems with Windows 2000+SATA+Radeon.
So the problem is: Windows XP SP2 with Radeon 9600XT+Samsung SATA HDD randomly freezes when watching video, installing driver fro Radeon, sometimes on Web browsing or even at Windows starting. Have some clue? I'm ready to buy a new HDD or Video card, but i dont sure it's a hardware...
And systems specs:
ASUS P4P800-X
Pentium 4 3.0GHz HT
Radeon 9600XT
1xSATA Samsung SP0812C,
