Hard Drive Corrupt?

[Marshmallow64]

Earlier today I started getting random blue screens of death. After reboots and check disk I uninstalled Windows 7 and installed windows vista. I left everything on my storage drive untouched.

After installing vista everything seemed back to normal until i tried to move some stuff from my storage drive over to the main os drive. The blue screens of death starting popping out again and random errors.

It's very frustrating since I have a lot of important stuff in this storage drive and it seems like I have to reformat. But before I do I am wondering if anyone knows the exact problem. Thanks in advance.

It is probably not your hard drive. It could be anything but ram could cause what your saying. Download memtest (google it). Run it for like 8 hours, if it sees any bad blocks then its your ram, if nothing then it might be your overclock.

This seems a little weird but after awhile my two harddrives in raid also stopped working. After playing around a bit I switched the sata ports to another on the mobo and it seems to read properly again.

It seems like the motherboards sata ports are the problem here, but I am currently installing windows to see if everything will now work.

I cant run anything cause everything is reformatted already except my storage harddrive.

Crossing my fingers >_<

So far everything seems good, looks like it is the mobo sata ports. The harddrives seem perfectly fine after I made the switch. That is so weird cause it's the first time i had sata ports just die on me...

Yea I will probably replace the mobo soon, no more Asus for me for awhile since it was a new build.
