Ever since I got my Linkworld 430W PSU, everytime I do a cold boot after the computer has been shut off for an extended period of time (a day or so), my hdd shut down then restarts as soon as I log into Windows. This also happens when I'm taxing my system (1700+, GF2, WD 60gb hdd, Soyo KT7V Dragon Plus mobo) while playing a game over 1/2 hour.
I was thinking my comp could be overheating, but it never breaks 50C, and it would be impossible to overheat on startup. The thing is that I can actually hear the HDD click, rev down, pause, then click and rev back up again.
According to Aida32 these are my voltages:
CPU - 1.76
2.5 - 2.5
3.3 - 3.18
5 - 4.89
12 - 12.67
5Standby - 4.87
Is my hdd dying, or is my psu crap? I only got it because it wasn't worth getting anything more for this old machine, and it was only $20 at Fry's after rebate (less than a month for the $5 rebate, too!).
