Yup!... it's probably the "standard PSU"... see if a different one makes a difference.

Edited:
I doubt you've dusted the PC several times in less than a month, so it may be the year old HDD was damaged from vacuum cleaning it, but not likely the 40GB or the replacement WD HDD.

First of all check the AC power cable is inserted snug in the PSU, and all power connectors are fully seated on the motherboard, CPU and HDDs. The pshh sound may be the HD header trying to read the disk/platter which may not be spinning up to speed from insufficient PSU power.

The voltages aren't terrific. And there's no 5v reading reported. But they should be OK.

But your CPU is hot - at 45C while at idle (Bios open) If your case gets too hot, this can kill HDDs.

Power off, covers off and blow the case out with compressed air - to get dust out. What case (make and model)? What fans are on it?
