Good morning all,
I have been trying to diagnose an issue with my computer over the past few weeks and I have not had any luck. My issue started in windows 7. The computer booted into windows fine but after opening a any file or folder the HDD activity light would come on and the computer would freeze. The mouse would move but the keyboard would not respond. After one minute everything would "unlock" and I could use the system again. This happened every boot once then would happen intermittently.
I wiped the drive and installed the most current version of Ubuntu thinking it was a software issue. The issue continues after a second install of Ubuntu. Once logging in, if I try to access the main 250GB drive, the 1TB storage drive, or a 16gb thumb drive the computer freezes for a minute and then unlocks. I can watch a 2.5 hour video after that. I ran the WD diagnostic tools on the hard drives and MEMTEST on the RAM with no errors.
I am now at a loss where to go. This machine is where I am trying to keep all my videos and pictures of my new born along with editing them. Needless to say my wife is pressing me hard to get this fixed! Thanks in advance for any suggestions you all have!!!
