Try this!

Can using scan and defrag or turning the computer off by hitting the power button cause your hard drive to crash? I was told it would by a computer consultant. My computer is freezing up on me bad and I'm afraid to turn it on now because when it does, I can't do a soft reboot.

Thank you

Marni
