Hard drive crashes are caused by heat, dirt and age. Since hard drives are mechanical in nature, parts wear out (like old cars) through friction and heat and eventually die. The MTF (Mean or average Time to Failure) for most hard drives is about 3 years. This means ON AVERAGE they die after 3 years. Some last longer. Some less.
Basically it means YOU BETTER BACK UP YOUR CRITICAL DATA! They do NOT last forever!
PC "crashes" can be of 2 types: Hardware or Software.
The hardware variety are as discussed above. The most common I see are caused by people never cleaning the machines, There are usually 2-4 fans in a PC to keep it cool from the heat build-up. This circulates air in the box, but also dust, pet hair, etc. Unless cleaned, these eventually jam the fans, the cooling stops, the box overheats and parts self-destruct.
The software type of crash is caused by "unsafe" computing... Downloading spyware and viruses without adequate protection!
These can be avoided by following the referenced practices below!

there are so many reason for computer and hard disk crash. If there is any physical damage while hard disk running, or it is over loaded, or working in adverse physical and natural environment. Software, viruses can also cause the crash.
For computer, normally over load of software, less powerful CPU and RAM but too much sofware or big sofwares, can crash. Viruses, or any faulty devices, or attaching unsupporting devices can cause crash.

Are you reinstalling are merely restoring the registry? if you're reinstalling are you doing it from CD/DVD media or from a partition on the hardchronic? the first element i'd verify is the hardchronic. Run the manufacture's try on it. once you've any outfitted in harddisk checks run them. you could also acquire an iso document from the producer of the hardchronic and burn it to a cd.you should use the prevalent try from Seagate Seatools on anychronic. ____________________________ "or is merely too complete to run." that's something to envision. How complete is your harddisk?
