Hard drive issues

Posted on 01-10-2008

I purchased a new Western Digital hard disk of 80GB capacity. At the time of partitioning the drive, my system shutdown due to overheating issues but after that there weren’t any more error messages. I installed Windows XP SP3 but now I am facing a problem of sudden restarts which are almost at the same time interval but after three or four restarts the system becomes stable. Help me out.

DIGIT ANSWERS: You must check your processor first and make sure that it does not overheat again. Also check your hard disk for any bad sectors through chkdsk / scandisk. Also if possible backup your data data, repartition the drive and then do a standard format for each partition.
