Solve : Power to Hard disk cuts out and OS freezes?

Answer»

Hi. My computer keeps (to try and put in words) acting like something is create a suction that gives the hard drive a shock and causes my system to completely freeze.

I suspect the my power supply is short circuiting? I am not sure though. Its a real pain for me, and I have to keep resetting and rebooting the computer.

It starting happening on OCCASIONS. But now it happens most of the time.

It happens MOSTLY while my pc is idol.

Can you please help.Is your computer clean?

What kind of 'shock'?

Physical or electronical wise?Do you have access to another PSU ? ?
If so swap it out and see if the problem goes away...
It could also be that that hard drive is getting ready to fail.
