Ok I have an 80 GB WD HD that is my C: drive. I also have a 120 GB Maxtor that is the location of my My Documents file. Whenever I try to access my documents, the computer freezes and then I BSOD, getting a Machine Check Exception. This happens anytime I have anything to do with My Documents, whether it be saving something to that drive, copying from it, whatever. I've tried various nVidia IDE drivers and the standard MS drivers. Doesn't matter.
This used to happen to me and I reformatted the 120 GB MAxtor and copied my documents from a backup disk. This helped a bit, with it only occasionally getting the machine check BSOD.
Any ideas? Is the HD going bad?
