hi everyone,

1 certrain cpu keeps on bugging me for errors:

asus p4s533-mx
p4 2ghz
256 mem pc133
20 gb maxtor
built in video
modem on pci

question 1 : is there a program/software package that checks and scans all of the hardware components for error?

my suspect is the Maxtor harddisk, cause when i try to boot the winxp installer for repair it still hangs after a while, i know its not the cdrom or memory, cause upon bootup those are recognized without problems, and to confirm this, the winxp boot cd booted to setup without hanging since I took the maxtor out?.

the weird thing is when i tranfer the Maxtor HD to another cpu I can still pull data from it. so i guess the problem is intermitent. any ideas?

thanks guys
