| Help! computer locks up for 1 sec then its fine but its really ofter is happens!!!! My old PC did exacly the same, was the PSU or hard drive, narrowed it down to that before I sold the machine.

| Help! computer locks up for 1 sec then its fine but its really ofter is happens!!!! It cant be my HDD's as i have tested numerously on them for any defects. and my PSU is rather good. no more than a 1 and a half old. is there a way i can test if it IS the PSU though?

| Help! computer locks up for 1 sec then its fine but its really ofter is happens!!!! even if i could sell the computer as a whole, it wouldn't help cuz i cant give them a bad PSU. (i would keep the good one for the next build) so i guess i'll just sell part by part. excluding the PSU from that list of course. arg! i need money so bad -_-
