Hi guys,
So basically I'll boot up my desktop and if it makes it to the Windows desktop screen, then after about 10-30 minutes of use, it freezes and the speakers let out a high frequency sound. No BSOD though. The only way to stop it is to power it down.
The chances of making it to Windows is about 25% of the time, with the other 75% of attempts not getting that far. Usually it will either freeze when auto-detecting drives (on the bios loadup screen) or it will get past that and I'll get the "Disk read error occurred" message (which was the result the last time I tried to use it.
This has been going on for a while now, so if anyone can solve it that'd be great. I've used various other techniques and followed other forum posts to no avail.
Ps. I only seemed to notice problems when I upgraded my graphics card and power supply, but I'm not entirely convinced that would cause disk read errors.
