Yea ok... I'm just like tripping out here.

Let me describe my system:

- Amd Athlon XP 2500
- 1024mb PC2700
- ATI Radeon 9600 Pro 128 mb
- 2x Maxtor Liquid bearring 8 mb cach 120 gig hds
- Epox RDA3+ mobo

This system runs on Windows 2000 Prof. service pack 4.

The problem is that I encounter goes like this:

When I'm shifting through my files (dvd-backups/mp3), my pc sometimes freezes and it takes like 20 seconds to get back to normal again.. when it freezes I can open things in the taskbar but when I try to open the map (via the taskbar) that contained like the media (dvd-back ups, movies) it says to me the map isn't responding so it will be terminated.

My question is, is this a virus? Ive run AVG virusscanner on all of my media maps/mp3 maps and also over my software/windows maps, he can't detect anything.

How can I fix this? I would hate to see my backup of dvds and mp3 collection go to waste (to straighten things up, those mp3s are also back-up files of my albums ... no warez here)

Last question, is this software or hardware wise? it freezing up...

Thanks in advance guys!

P.S. this system is 2 weeks OLD! so this shouldn't happen
