Freeze on idle

[Aelric]

I meant that the time wasn't correct as the screen froze and the clock remaining on that time. When the computer wasn't frozen, it displayed the correct time.

It's now gone overnight on idle and didn't freeze. I still wish I knew what caused the problem, but I think whatever it was has corrected now. Thanks again everyone.

I've now emptied and isolated this drive. I'll likely replace it as it's just a mechanical 1TB.

Good plan...thankfully storage is kinda cheap these days....

Any old HDD can be made into a nice reliable door stop.
