Just place the location of the image online between the img tags like you did with untitled.bmp, as we definitely can't access what's on your C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Desktop

Ok, I reinstalled hdTune. Here is a screen shot of the benchmark before and after the uninstall. Note the access times. Before the uninstall, I repeatedly had negative access times. A windows xp scan of the hdd revealed no bad sectors and the hdTune general info suggests no problems. However, my computer hangs randomly for 3-10 sec. every 30-60 sec. A clean install and format did not solve the problem. Occurs with every program used. Ran memtest86 on ram with no errors.
