Need some advice or Help....Please
Pegasys:
Have you recently added new RAM? I've heard people talking about crashes from RAM "timing issues" when newly installed RAM doesn't have the same timing as the old RAM.
Also is your RAM seated firmly in the prongs (or whatever they're called)? It might have gotten dislodged with the install of the new hard drive. Or maybe your RAM is failing. For some reason I suspect a RAM issue.
Or possibly a problem with the new hard drive - a bad install or bad sectors. Let's think - what is being accessed when a CAS is being saved - is it RAM or hard drive?

new ram checks out fine....yes I did add some new one.....and it is seated properly...hard drive is fine too

J.M. or Kellinjar or probably a dozen other people (at least) are more qualified to address this than I am. However ....
..... Someone more tech-savvy than I once told me that there can be problems when you install RAM cards of different, er ... denominations. Not different speeds, as someone already suggested (because I asked the person about this specifically). Cards with different amounts of memory on them -- like 256 + 256 + 128.
I have no idea whether this is true. But .....
.... what if you took out the 128 and see if you still had the freezing/crashing problem? Couldn't hurt, could it?
Okay, I stand ready to get my lips ripped if I'm spouting total inanities. I'm just repeating what someone told me.

Amberyl:

Thanks you Phyllisp.....
I took out the 128 meg and it works......so far...need to test all my downloads and hacks...
phyllis_p:
Oh, yay! I hope that solves it and it's not just coincidence!
