what makes you think it's the ports? maybe another component fails or the disk is corrupted... detailed specs (overclock, mem, etc.......)?

What did you do just before this problem arose? You have obviously recently updated your Bios to a Beta version, which could in itself cause problems. Also, it is possible you may have updated the nforce4 chipset drivers. At any rate, there have been problems with nvidia's IDE drivers - just use XP's drivers.
