Hard Drive Causes My Machine To Reboot Soon After Post.

It's true. The maxtor 20gb drive is now causing my machine to reboot between post and loading os. I was running house call on the machine right before this. House Call locked up so I reset the machine and now it reboots. I just got through cleaning spyware of this machine before I ran housecall. The reason I know it's the hard drive and not some other piece of hardware is because I took the drive out and put it in another machine as a slave. The drive came up fine in windows explorer, but when I set that drive as master to that machine, the second machine started rebooting just like the first one. Anyone seen this before?

I just talked to the customer, and it seems this is the second drive in his machine that has done this, so that solves that mystery. Obviously the hard drive is not where the problem originated.
