Re: Crappy HDDs Killing Computers

[Robin Laing <Robin.Laing@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Over the weekend I came across this issue on my home desktop.  One of 
the drives started clunking and then the drive stopped.  I shutdown the 
computer and went to bed.  I could not reboot the next day as there was 
weird clunking from the drives and the computer would just start 
rebooting again.

On further testing I found the the "new (a couple of months old)" power 
supply was putting out low +5 volt rail (4.40).  This seemed to toast 
the HDD, but that is another thread.
