You should replace it because it won't hurt and it seems to be what you (and others) want. But in the process of replacing the HD, take a few minutes and, while being static free, give each connector a little wiggle. And, as I said in an earlier post, reseat (or swap) your memory modules. The KP you posted is from a page fault, which usually comes from corrupt code. Data coming from a hard drive has several checks to protect the integrity of data (parity,CRC,ECC). The chances are very slim that you're reading corrupted code from the HD. Memory in your system, on the other hand, has absolutely no data integrity checks. One bit dropped (or picked up) can lead to a page fault.Connections in your machine are subject to a small amount of corrosion and thermal expansion over and over that can make them subject to fail ever so slightly after a number of years. Connections can be rejuvenated by reconnecting them.Good luck!!P.S. Though you're not likely to admit it, I think in a small way you are enjoying the process;D</blockquote>
