Well im having some odd PC problems. I reformatted last week as i was having some other PC probs then i reformatted again as i had some other problems.

After the reinstall everything seemed fine. After a while i get odd stuff happening. Such as my right click not working for a while, or when i open up IE the File, Edit, etc menu is gone but the other buttons are there. Or my PC just becomes slow and unresponsive for a while after i've opened up a program (e.g. winamp). Also a couple of times, the shutdown/restart buttons have no effect in the start menu. Another time before my reformats, i would start a file download from any site and then my task bar and start menu become completely unresponsive for a while.

Do these scans by HDTune suggest my HD is dieing and causing all these problems? These were done after a reformat.

Maxtor 300GB HD
2GB of PC3200
AMD 4000+ San Diego
ASUS A8N-SLI Deluxe (replaced the failed chipset fan with a passive one)
These two i fitted just before my reformat: Leadtek Winfast 7900GT Extreme (pre-overclocked) and an X-FI Xtreme Music.
 
chkdsk doesn't report anything.

I already tried to use the maxtor tool, but i was unable to run it. This was because it only runs off a bootable floppy and i don't actually have a FDD. When will modern companies realise that FDDs are an old technology and that not everyone actually has one nowadays! :mad:

Well i will get my two HDs tomorrow so hopefully that will fix my problems
