After a fresh install, my hard drive works for about a month or two. It works great in the beginning but it eventually starts to crash more and more frequently. Sometimes when I boot, windows 98 will say that it has found an error and will fix the problem automatically when I reboot. But eventually I won't even be able to run scandisk. It says that I have a LBA error and can't read from the end of the disk. I then have to reformat and do a fresh install and it happends all over again.
I've tried using different hard drives and even gotten replacements b/c they are still under warrenty. But that does not fix the problem. I was told that it could be a memory problem where info was not being read onto my hard drive correctly so I replaced the ram. That did not work. My bios settings are all on auto. I've updated all the drivers. I'm at wits end and the only thing left to do is to test the power supply or get a new motherboard and cpu. What do you guys think? What could be causing this problem?
I have a PIII 533, soyo 6vba-133 (with via 4 in 1 drivers), award bios, 30gb WD HD, 256mb crucial CAS3, TNT2 Ultra video card, sound blaster live value, memorex cd-rom, philips cd writer, a removable dock for a storage HD, a generic 56k modem , a 250 watt PS, and a USB PCI card.
I hope that is enough info. I'd really appreciate any info. Thanks.
