I am confused and need help. My 98 SE seems to just freeze and nothing is
operational. The power on switch doesn't work Cntrl + ALT + Delete doesn't
work, the mouse doesn't work and the key board doesn't work. I have to unplug
the power supply and and wait a few minutes to plug back in. I have
installed new fans thinking it was a heating issue not. I have new
harddrives installed. Once it is turned back on all is well for a while. I
have ran every possible program and all results are normal. Sometimes I will
also get the message CAN NOT WRITE TO THE C DRIVE. Can anyone help

With the machine off and the power disconnected:
Make sure the jumpers on the HDDs are set correctly.
Reseat the cable connectors on the motherboard and the HDDs.
Reseat the power cable connectors also.
Remove and reseat the ram sticks.
When did the problem start?
