Hi, |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
Thanks for all the responses. It seems that I'm not as unfortunate as it |
| 23 |
seemed at first glance, but on the other hand I'm not as good in |
| 24 |
hardwares as I thought. |
| 25 |
The lockups and freezes are gone for three days. The problem was that my |
| 26 |
8 mm system fan was on the same power-cable as my HDD. It disturbed the |
| 27 |
drive. I linked the fan to the motherboard, it is fine at the moment. I |
| 28 |
hope my mobo will be able to supply two fans, one for CPU and one for |
| 29 |
system. |
| 30 |
I would have never thought that a 8mm fan can disturb a HDD's power |
| 31 |
supply. |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
TIA. |
| 34 |
Cheers, |
| 35 |
