Is this 500gb including a fresh install of Windows XP, and this problem only started since your fresh install?
I would certainly assume one way or the other it is a driver issue.. Was your previous harddrive IDE, and the new on SATA ? Did you install the latest drivers for your motherboard chipset ?
You might also want to go into your control panel, administrative tools, event viewer, and check your system log for errors. Might point you in the right direction.
Final vote, chipset drivers or ram issue
