Ok look, my boyfriend put my PC together awhile back. Asus motherboard, IBM 40 gig drive, AMD Athlon 1.4 ghz processor, 256mb ram, anyways. I have had 3 hard drive failures in this damn thing since he built it. The IBM went down, failed to detect. Put it in another pc and confirmed it was dead. Put another IBM drive in it, couple months later, failed, it was broken though, the head was making noises and junk, couldnt retrieve. Put a maxtor in it, he said it was the IBM drives, oh look, the maxtor is now dead a few months later. Ok I need some advice here. He says it could ONLY be a power management issue or a motherboard issue, but the motherboard does not put power to the hard drive so he says it could not be that. So it would have to be a power management and power supply issue. He checked my power management settings and they were good. The case has changed multiple times so Ive had different power supplys this whole time, never the same failing power supply, so anyone know what could cause something this retarded? Thanks./
