lol - this is not possible.

a virus cannot be stored in RAM, cuz ram doesn't store information permanently. nor is there a place 2 store on mobo.

when these hard drives "die" - r they clunking or anything when the pc tries 2 access them like during POST?

in bios, r they detected? when using FDISK, can u access them?

no way did a puter kill 6 hard drives!

[Mik3ll]

are you installing these yourself? or did you have any of them professionally installed?

I think we should consider this thread dead if he is not willing to give us some actual facts.

Harddrive SOMETIMES is detected and somtimes is detected as Å Å Å Å Å Å Å .
Fdisk says "Specified Hard disk can not be opened, No disk or disk is invalid."

ALL is installed by myself.

I jumper according to website and sticker. I connect with IDE cable and I plug in power. I screw on the HDD and on goes the computer. Simple.

dude - that&#39;s messed. get new mobo - cheaper than a hd anyway&#33;

have u tested these "dead" hd&#39;s in any other puter?

If your HDDs are truly dying, i.e will not reformat in another machine. I would suggest your Power Supply is probably up the creek.

i would guess p.s. if the hard drives were clunking - since a bad p.s. would give 2 much and 2 little power to the hd. he hasn&#39;t mentioned clunking - but good test 2 use in another puter.
