I've got a western digital drive in my video computer. It's been a decent drive for the most part, but now i'm afriad it's dying. A few times recently, it would spin down for no reason. The computer has had heat problems, and I thought that might of been it, but this time, it had just been cut on.
The comp is a PIII 733, and Abit BE7-II(or something like that). The main drive is an IBM 25G, and the video is a WD 80G, ATA100...
Could the motherboard be failing? The last time it messed up, I got errors that both the CD Burner and the harddrive were disconnected improporly(both on the same channel...)
Just so noone tries, it's not software related because I have something installed on the boot drive so the computer always reverts back to how it was before being cut on(IE, anything installed or changed will go back to how it was prior to installing that program)
