    Sounds to me like your HD is overheating or just plain dying.

    Check drive temp with your fingers, if it is uncomfortable to touch for 10 or 20 secs, the drive is too hot.

    I haven't considered overheating as an issue, I will check on that when I get home from work, thanks.

    i think i have discovered the problem, i believe it is the accounting system, the past few times it locked up and became inaccessable the accounting system crashed. i have since turned it off and it is on its longest run without crashing thus far.
