SATA drive shuts down the system

Hello everyone.

I have a problem with my system. I've spent 2 weeks troubleshooting it and finally I've located the problem.

The system would shot down without any reason. It's not CPU or anything overheating problem. Memory is fine. I have switched the motherboard and everything worked fine until I start moving files from my main EDIE Seagate to SATA 7200.9.

Any time I'm moving files TO THE SATA DRIVE the system shuts down. Moving files from the drive was not problem.


My specs Abit AV8, AMD 64 3200, Kingston Value 2x512, Evga 7800GS, previously I had Gigabyte GA-KV8ns-Ultra 939 and the same problem with shutting down.

SATA drive is switched to 1.5 to be compatible with ABIT AV8.

I'm looking for any suggestion. May be someone else had the same problem


Thank you for your help


 
Maybe try another sata data cable? I don't really think that would help but you want to eliminate all variables that could be causing it. Can you test this drive in another computer? You say when you are moving files this happens, what if you copy files to the drive? What if you try to install a program to the drive? Does it still shut down in all of these scenarios? Have you run a full chkdsk on the sata? Do you have just 1 big partition on the sata or do you have multiple ones? If you have multiple partitions does it shut down your computer no matter what partition you are putting data on?
 
I have tried similar drive Seagate 7200.9 and it worked fine moved over 100GB no problem. But the suspect drive shuts down as soon as you moving any data to it. system is stable and without any issues without that HDD.
 
So you are saying that if you try to write any data to the drive, whether it be copying files or moving files or lets say you even chose to download a file and you chose that drive as the download location the drive shuts down?

Does the whole system turn off or does the drive just disapear? When this happens do other Hard drives in the system function correctly while this one does not?

What if you boot off the windows XP cd and try to start installing windows on it? Does it fail to copy files does the whole machine reboot?
