I would do a HD surface test with special software which you can probably find on the IBM site and otherwise you just use the Maxtor utility. Do a full survace check because you might have a HD that is going bad.

Also which powersupply do you have and are all components running cool enough?

My CPU fan spins so fast that it creates a wormhole :eek:
