Hello! I'm Having frustrating problems with my computer, and I am sure It's mobo related...
At random times (on boot, playing music, etc) It seems that my primary hard drive turns off! I can hear the clicking sound, and i can also hear it stop spinning. This obviously causes the system to crash, and is definately not good for my HDD. Sometimes i go days without problems...then some days... :upset:
Could the problem be in my PCI bus? I have 2 HDD's, one is 20GB WD200 used for my boot and swap, the other is a 320GB WD3200, which is my main. I have both on a PCI raid card.

Any ideas will be much appreciated!

Try going to the control panel>>power options>> and see if your hdd is set to turn off after some time....if it is set it to never and see if that helps

"Try going to the control panel>>power options>> "
I'm Running Slackware 12 (Linux)...I don't have a Control Panel
No, I don't have anything set to turn off my hard discs after a certain time...also, they tend to go off randomly, sometimes within a minute of boot!

I'm going to move this thread over to the Linux portion of the forum, you should be able to get proper advice there

Krisnakanth, please start your own thread in the XP portion of the forum , we'll find it less confusing than trying to solve a Linux issue and yours together. Also, please try and give a better description of your problem when you do.
