The first hard drive to die was on a molex connector, and the 2 after that were hooked up with an adapter.

Well i suspect something is causing it since they have all died in exactly the same way, and in such a short time span. Motherboard is an Abit KN8 Ultra, PSU is an Antec TrueBlue 480w

Well, my PSU doesnt really have a story. I bought it a few years ago, installed it, and I have never had any problems with it. All the voltage levels look normal in the bios, and i havent had any other computer problems lately besides the dying hard drives. Please excuse the bad quality pic -...

Nope. The only reason i have been moving it lately is to put in a new HDD every 2 months. :P

No i'm not.

Well this weekend hard drive #3 died on me in exactly the same way, a Western Digital this time. Anyone have any other ideas? Twice could be a coincidence but 3 times in 4 months is ridiculous. Motherboard is an Abit KN8 Ultra, PSU is an Antec TrueBlue 480w, it is not overclocked, my case...

Back in november i had a western digital hard drive die on me very suddenly. It was a fairly new drive, but one day i got a couple of error messages that the computer couldnt access the disk, then the next day it was dead. If i try to boot into windows it will just sit at a black screen with...

About a month ago i moved into a new house and set up a cable modem with a linksys wireless router for our home network. However, my PC isnt using the wireless, its plugged directly into the router. So ever since moving in, ive noticed some strange behavior. pictures on webpages will...

Well apparently my Epox 8RDA6+ is dead, as ive tried everything I can think of and posted my problem on several message boards, and still have not found a solution. So since its still under warranty, I decided to RMA it to Epox. On Epox's support site, you have to register your product w/...

I was making some changes in my bios, trying to get a few extra MHz out of my cpu and it didnt like the settings i gave it. It just froze during bootup. So naturally i used the jumper to clear the CMOS like ive done a million times before. But this time, my computer refuses to boot up...

Argh... you were right... exploded caps. Oh well, i guess that means its time to upgrade.

PSU is only about a year old, its a 420w Antec True Blue. I dont really have another PSU i can swap in to test with though. Ill check the caps next.

This system has been running 200fsb since i bought it about 2 years ago completely stable. Right now Im staying at a friends house for a couple of weeks and brought the system with me. Someone else unplugged everything of mine to hook up their own computer, now that i have hooked mine back up it...
