you can get an ide-to-usb box, open it and mount the disk directly on
the laptop... this little things are really useful in this bad times..
So there's something wrong with the box. Can
anyone point me in the
right direction to begin troubleshooting this machine ? Could it be RAM
? The graphics card ? Or what ?? And how can I test things on the
hardware side, i.e., what utilities are indicated ?
mmh.. the freeze-on-mouse-move issue is strange, maybe it could be the
mobo chipset??
memtest86 is THE tool for checking the ram, for hardware side the only
thing i can think is to toggle all hardware components and adding them
one-by-one till you experience the problem again... or by installing the
hardware on an another machine
Any and all suggestions vastly appreciated.
hope my two cents are worth the reading
Best,

good luck
