Hello All,
I have recently upgraded my old machine. The specs are as follows:
AMD FX 6300 CPU
ASUS M5A78L-M/USB3 MoBo
Corsair 4GB DDR3 RAM
400W PSU
2 HDD (80gb and 640gb)
Its a dual boot machine with both OS installed on the 80gig drive. I have installed Ubuntu 14.04 and Windows 8 64bit in it.
No overclocking has been performed. The temp was in control for 2-3 months but recently I am noticing issue with my Western Digital internal drive (640GB). Its getting disconnected often when the machine is used for sometime (say 1hr). Then I have to just re-plug the SATA cable or power cable and it re-appears on reboot. Both HDDs are getting heated at a good amount.

80 gigs is working fine and has been there for around 10 years and no issues faced.
Have ran check disk on WD and no issues found. As of now, I have moved the datas from 640 HDD to my external and will require some advise on how to proceed further before I copy them back?
I have thought of getting a cabinet cooler but wil wait for suggestions as the drives were working fine before, so if its due to some other issues, I can get the drive replaced.
Thanks in advance
