Maybe it's like people? Letting it get sick a few times toughens up it's immune system?

I would think after ten years it needs the dirt blown out of it. Maybe your processor runs cooler than mine.

Western Digital has a free chkdsk download at their site, I think it's superior to the MS chkdsk program. Avast also has a pretty good free anti-virus program.

Anyway, I left the old box on all night and it was good to go this morning, so I'm gonna call it fixed.
