If you can't get control of it, contact a technician who can come and
see it first hand. The description could indicate file problems or lack
of physical maintainance. Windows may be affected by such things.
If you have been moving it, then make sure that physical stuff is done
first. That may be enough to clear it up or just improve the state of
your files and the format pattern.
