I never did know "exactly" why the hard drive gave those symptoms, but changing the hard drive finally cured the box. (I had changed even the power supply in the box, as well as fans added and all kinds of stuff) in spite of good readings from it after about the third MB in 3 months. never had a nother problem with the box, put the HD in a totally different box and two months later, had an additional "spare" cpu since the MB was trashed again.
