622416 2007-12-18 10:18:00 System hangs for no obvious reasons randomly. Suspect HDD problem. Ran HDD test from Ultimate Boot CD with the following error:

"Error code: 0006
Writing CW-ERR File ....
Causeway error 09: Unrecoverable exception program terminated."

Can I say that this HDD has got a fault?

Have a look at this (www.tek-tips.com)

622418 2007-12-18 10:55:00 Just downloaded the WD Diagnostic Tools and performed a quick test with a big green tick. It is now doing an Extended Test and seems to be OK, so far, another 8 minutes to go.

If there is no fault with the HDD, you reckon I should check the RAM? Run the Memtest overnight?

Yup, I would.

622421 2007-12-18 22:00:00 Run Memtest overnight, found no faults. Looks like it's MB problem. Its a DFI-622-TMG/G. Reinstall OS but problem remains: system hangs randomly. bk T (215)
