Did you take a temp reading at idle then while under full load, ie p95 torture test?

You do this?

So far all the tests look good -- running p95 for a few hours w/o error generally means a solid pc. The HD data sounds good.

Anyone know of any other HD tests he could perform, such as read/write error checks or what not?

What happened to your old hard drive exactly, things got corrupted and you just got a new one? Do you know if there was an actual hardware failure on your other drive? If not this seems like a bit of coincidence and unless you keep getting the same data corrupting porn virus you may have some other hardware issue.

I dunno could possibly be some controller issue with the MB flaking out. I guess at this stage I would try more HD tests, then possibly memtest -- after that I would, assuming you have your data off (I imagine this was your first priority), do a reformat of the drive, then install fresh and keep your fingers crossed.

Its a seagate drive so he could try seatools. I don't know how good it is (I've never bothered).

Should I be worried that I knew he had a SATA 500GB 7200.10 Barracuda just from the model number?
