ALright ive got a problem with my second hardrive which is about 400 GB. Everytime i use a program or do something that thats pretty intensive....the damn hard drive just shutsdown the whole damn computer. The way i got my comouter set up is i got a 60 GB Main Hard Drive with my OS on it and the 400 GB as a storage/anything drive. Ive treied doing the same thing on the 60 GB drive and it doesnt crash or anything! THe problem is im outta spaec on that drive...
Any Guesses(sp?) as to what my cause this and how to fix it?

I had a similar problem(hard drive clicking and stop responding) and I'm pretty sure its your power supply(mine was held together by scotch tape) Check to see if the plug is loose or if the cables are crimped

Did you check that your power supply is up to the job?
If your hard drive pulls the supply rails down, even a little, the system will shut down.
If this is it you can either get Ghost and transfer your 60GB to your 400GB and pull the 60GB, or get a decent power supply upgrade.

If you have a CompUSA near you that is closing their power supplies are 60% off now...!
