it started with a delayed write failed error message, then many many delay write failed error messages. now my comp freezes when it idles and i have to do a manual shut down, which screws up more stuff. at this point, im considering shutting down my computer every time i am going to be away from it for more than 20-30 minutes. there are many problems, but i figure it would be smartest to start from the beginning: the delay write fail.

what do you guys know about this error? and what can be done to fix it and prevent it from occurring again? im thinking it could be related with the secondary hard drive that i added. if it is that, does it just mean i need to get a new hard drive and the one i have is completely useless? thanks, ive tried so many things and im getting desperate. hopefully this forum's members can help me.
