So one thing that has me seriously worried about my desktop is it's hard drives. They work ok but pretty often every day all my hard drives, even my DVD drive will just spin up for no real reason. When this happens several applications will freeze for a moment then start working like normal. Now, I'm using windows 7 but it isn't OS specific, even when I toy with Linux on here the drives will act like that. This has happened on several motherboards so my best guess is the drives are kind of busted in some weird way. I plan on replace all my hard drives, and some other bits and pieces in my computer hopefully this year before I start school again. I need my primary rig to be up and in shape. I'm just hoping a new set of HDDs will solve that odd problem.
