    Hi,

    I just got my M6N yesterday and the hard drive activity light periodically blinks every 3 seconds or so. What may be causing this? I opened up task manager and the cpu usage will jump to 10% then back down to a constant 3%. I do not know what's going on. Any ideas? My desktop never does this. It's always at 0% when I'm just checking cpu usage.

    Thanks in advance.

    The machine did not come with an OS. However, I found the culprit. It was the trackpad software. I was wondering how could I take advantage of the middle button without installing this extra software? Thanks in advance. Furthermore, ironically, my notebook froze two times when I tried to go to the Asus site. I had to use that special reset button on the back of the case. Any idea what may be causing this unusual error? I'm scared. I hope this notebook will last for 5 years at least during my University years.
