Default Hard disk stops spinning

I have experience hdd hanging in the midst of operations, this situation presents itself in a multitude of ways. Firstly, it would hang if i were to use graphics intensive applications adobe photoshop/illustrator, autodesk autocad '08 etc. Secondly using wmp 11 with a combination of msn messanger. Thirdly, using firefox to browse NBA.com: Official Home Page of National Basketball Association All of the above would cause the HDD LED indicator to stop blinking, this problem has been a thorn in the flesh for a couple of months, and i have run a series of test ranging of memtest 86 to hdd diagnostics test. Yet all results return normal, i can't lay a finger to it what is exactly wrong. I have changed a new hdd, yet this problem still persists may i know what should i do?

Default Re: Hard disk stops spinning

Hello lebronhjames23. Can you please make sure that the harddrive power connector is securely attatched to the harddrive? Does the drive actually stop spinning? Can you put your ear to it and hear it spinning?
