So I've got this motherboard that I think an IDE channel might be going out on. Games crash while loading levels, files randomly become corrupted, etc. I've tested the RAM using Memtest86 and it comes out OK. I've tested the CPU using Prime95 for hours at a time and it's fine as well (not even overclocking). I've swapped out hard drives and brands (three different drives, Maxtor, WD, and Seagate) all with the same results. I've used all the hard drive diagnostic tools from each drive manufacturer and they all gave the green light. The last thing I can think of is the controller on the motherboard is bad. These are all on clean installs, but the issue is, its not "repeatable" so much as it just kinda happens randomly and over time, maybe two days, maybe a week. This isn't my main system, so it's not something I use every day either.
My question is, is there any tool out there that will stress the hell out of the hard disk subsystem (I know these exist) and report any errors (the part I'm not sure about)?
