[QUOTE="Colin, post: 47125, member: 1450"] Unfortunately it was an original Vista (Upgrade) disk. I then had to do SP1 & SP2 installs (followed by compcln). I then used Windows Update to apply all later updates. Took a long time! I cannot recall for certain, but the system was built by mself from components. I may have changed the disk at some time in the past (It is quite a few years old - but perfect for browsing, music and email). However if I have changed the disk, it was some time ago, and the system has worked fine until recently. Incidentally I noticed that in niemiro's reply that he mentioned a BSOD. I should have made it clearer. I'm not actually getting a Blue Screen. The system just hangs completely, and the only resolution is to remove the power cable. I have tried leaving it for a coupe of hours just in case, but no joy. I'm now away to read your article on the HDD diagnostics, and wiill report back later. [/QUOTE]
