I found a message from 2001 but it may not apply any more. Anyway, my system has started to lockup at random times. Hitting the panic button is the only way to break out.
I have a Maxtor 80 GB IDE drive, model 6Y080PO. According to the Seagate disk utility, the temp is 253F. all other temps (mobo, case, cpu) are well under 100F. IS they high temp the reason or is something else to blame. The box is a CoolerMaster Centurion. According to Speed Fan 4.28, the drive temps are at 75F.
