- I need some advise on what the problem could be on my dad's computer.
-
- Here is what generally happens:
-
- When running Windows, and the hard drive is reading data, and if you
- move the mouse at the same time, and the machine is in TURBO mode,
- the hard drive hangs and the red light stays on.
-
- So when: windows+disk access+mouse movement+turbo = hang
-
- The way to get it loading again is to take it off of Turbo or
- even sometimes you have to push the turbo button in and out
- very fast to get the machine working again.
-
- Any ideas? Is it the controller, hard drive, serial port conflict????
