After about 30mins to 1hour of bf2 play my hard drive stops spinning ingame, then starts again - the game resumes, these become closer and closer until it eventually does it non stop.
I recently installed cold cathods and my hard drive i was getting its power not directly from the psu - i.e via extra molex connectors then ontop of that the ones provided by the neon lights.
Am I right in thinking that its not getting enough power as its way too down the line? Maybe I should connect a molex from the psu straight to the hard drive?
