Hoster help needed, computer crashes

[barrp]

[quote=mindonstrike]I'm not a computer expert by any means but from what you describe I would tend to suspect the HD is going bad (you do have all your KMA's backed up right?) running scandisk might offer some clues.

I considered the hard drive the first time it crashed and downloaded the hddlife program and it said health 86% and the performance number I can't recall, but it read excellent right behind this number.

Yes I do have one back up on an external hd, but I'm not comfortable with only one copy of the files.

A couple of questions:

I've read here that ' in the song names can cause the database to crash. Can it also cause the system to crash?

Does the amp put out a magnetic field? Could the system be to close to the amp?

I pulled the covers off and reseated memory, cards and all plug ins. I also pulled out a video capture card I was hoping to use to capture my lasers. I'll try scan disk but I'm about ready to reformat and try again.

Thanks,
Jim Barr
