The Geek Squads primary purpose is to act as a secondary sales arm of Best Buy...why fix something if you can just upsell your way out of a problem?
Everyone has their horror stories about encounters with the GS but I've actually seen them...complete data loss, 1000w PSU installed in an eMachine, the list goes on.
Also, keep in mind that you may have more than one cause of your problems.
Seems like we've been all over the place on this one...

I fixed it? Been working for 3 hours with no problems. Playing games and everything with no crashes!
I thought that my hard drives were drawing too much power, so I disconnected all but my system drive and started hooking them up one by one. Each time I added one the system remained stable. Now all 5 are plugged in and it's working!
Although I'm glad my pc is back to normal, I'd like to know what happened. Any thoughts?
@peat: I've haven't been able to find my keys for days, so I couldn't take my pc anywhere.

but why would that allow my system to boot and function almost normally?

I'm just guessing , I'v had that problem with a faulty dvd rw cable . Can you go back and read the Event Viever ? Administrative Tools / Event Viewer.
