Hello everyone,
*sigh* continous computer problems recently.
I had a faulty hard drive replaced it with a 320 gb SATA seagate hard drive a little while ago(starting from scratch). The old hard drive kept refreshing; it was whirling down, then spinning, the whirling.. etc. After installing the new hard drive the problem seemed to subside but occasionally it still happened and recently it seems to be happening more often. This problem seizes up my computer and I have gotten the blue screen of death a few times. I was wondering what might be the problem with it? Could it be my motherboard? Could it be possible I installed the hardware incorrectly? I have looked around and cant find any other advice other than "hard drive is dead, replace it".
Anyways, some reading or advice (or even direct solutions) would be very much appreciated.
Thanks guys and girls ,
Jim
Motherboard: ASUS P5GD2-X
HD: Seagate SATA/300, Barracuda 3.5" Internal Hard Drive, 320 Gigbytes 16 MB Cache
Thing is that it happens quite randomly. Some days it only seizes up once really bad giving me the blue screen. And other times it will refresh for 10 minutes but come out ok.

Do you have another machine to try the new HD in?
no, unfortunately i dont, in the event viewer it shows many event 51s if that helps at all. ^.^
thanks again
Both old and new HD were using SATA. The new HD is using a new SATA cable and still has the same problem plugged into the other master SATA port. I chucked the old HDD because it was getting to the point were every 10 seconds it would seize up and crash.
