I went through 3 hard drives and 2 motherboards in about a year because of that piece of trash.(Or was it 2 hard drives and 3 motherboards)
RL friend of mine's went through exactly the same thing with hers. Meanwhile my 5 and 6 year old machines are still on original everything except power supplies and processor fans...both replaced multiple times due to the fans wearing out. Oh and a much replaced video card for EQ in the second...never died, but often upgraded.
