What's a "hardfile"? Do you mean "hard-drive" or "hard-disk"?

You mean hard drives.
Probably due to software downloading of a virus. There are some real nasty programs out there that will do supposed damage to the MBR of a hard drive.
Certainly to my knowledge one was contained within an illegal download of Tune Up 2007 as a Keygen. It destroyed a hard drive on a friends computer.
Actually with some proper tools I managed to recover the disk and told him in no uncertain terms how stupid he was downloading and installing software that was put on share sites by essentially dishonest people.
Have you downloaded the same piece of software to all three drives causing the same problem each time.
It is unlikely in the extreme that the same problem will occur repeatedly on modern PC as even power supplies wont really damage a hard disk and in general you would notice a hardware problem on set up
Unless you kick you PC around and it is physical damage I would review your download policy and look to using legal software.

Hard to say, but I have recently read that bad/cheap power supplies can do damage to your system,.. if your PSU isn't branded, *ie a big well established, trusted name,.. then maybe that's what's causing your problems,.. if your PSU is cheap and generic; then it may be time to look at a better alternative; ask online again if you need some good advice on getting hold of one that will be compatible with your machine; you'll need to find out the specifications of all your hardware contained in your machine to know what PSU to get.
However, it MAY be that you have just unwittingly bought 3 shoddy HDD's,.. but I feel that's less likely. Hope my words can be investigated by yourself to find out how to deal with the situation you're in.
Good luck! :)

I presume you mean hard drives? There is no good reason why this should have happened. Were they all of one make? If so, what make was it?
Sounds like you have been very unlucky.

Hardfiles?
Hardrives? are you only screwing them in on one side... if so they tend to vibrate and the bearings go pretty quick.
