I have just bought a new hard disk here 2 days ago, because my other kept dying. But now my new one is doing it too! When I install windows xp on it, it runs fine for a day or 2, but then all sort of failures starts popping op. The hard disk starts to make a wierd noise, like if it where starting up, and 1 second later shutting down. Every time the sound occurs, windows freeshez and im unable to do anything. My D: drive is unafftected though, but the whole C: drive gets corrupted. Then suddenly when I restart, the computer says something about: "Put system recovery cd in" or something like that. If I restart, it goes to a bluescreen, and automatically restarts. I have recently bought a new graphic card, and im wondering if my PC is underpowered, and that is killing the harddrives? Just seems wierd though. Here are my specs:
Processor: Intel® Core2 Quad CPU 2.4 Ghz
Graphic Card: Geforce 275 GTX
Ram: 2GB
Motherboard: Gigabyte G31M-S2L
BIOS: BIOS-version Award Software International, Inc. F2
Powersupply: HKC 564 Watt
Harddisk: WD Caviar Black 1TB
I run the WD LifeGuard and got this error:
Status code = 7 failure checkpoint = 97
Any idea?
