Ilivitup,
It sounds to me like you are having a RAM issue, not hard drive. RAM (Random Access Memory) helps with the fluidity and performance of any programs. Not having enough RAM often times causes the computer to generate a Memory error and possibly even lock up.
I would recommend attempting to change out your RAM to see if that resolves your issue. Most retail stores will accept returns for RAM, in case that was not the problem.
Please Note: It is recommended to have at least 3 to 4 gigabytes in a computer with Windows Vista or higher as the Operating System.
Hope this helps.
Mophead,
