Hello
You're welcome for your suggestion, I'm sorry it didn't really help. The
only other thing I can think of, is maybe there is a serious error
somewhere, or something may be overheating. Run a CHKDSK, and check off both
boxes, and restart the PC (so that the full CHKDSK runs). That is if you
haven't done so already. Let me know if you find anything....or not.....
whichever way it goes.
