how many HDs do you have running on your system? You said a lot but didn't specify.

hmm well as far as i can tell its probably one of 3 problems. A motherboard/HD conflict problem which would cause winamp to f-up if its always trying to load files. A DMA problem with your drives or just a plain motherboard problem. I dont think it is software but im not sure, it doesnt seem like a driver problem either, so im guessing it has to be a conflict caused by your motherboard and hard drives. At least that is the only conclusion i can come up with.
