Hard Drive activity causes lock up

It's usually caused by larger files, whether I'm downloading
transferring over a network, ripping a CD, or anything like that. If i
uses the hard drive for those type of things it locks up my computer
Watching movies and stuff that is saved on my hard drive does not caus
this problem. I've updated my bios trying to make the problem go away
but it still won't. This also happened with an older 40GB hard driv
before I upgraded
