Cpuld be you PS cant handle the load!
A weak PS will upset the HD... seen it take em down over time too!
Check...
1. Are your 3.3, 5 and 12v good and stable?
2. With that system I's strongly recommend 24a or more on your 12+ v rail(s) total.
Moving POST to AMD General

if i format my HD and reinstall all OS, will that HELP.....!

 

[The Duke]

Not if your PS is the issue!

 

[ZJane]

i think my PSU is Ok its 400 Watts MACRON, and i doubt if it has a problem, let me try to see if the MBR is creating problems..!
it gets screwed everytime i OC.....!

Boot from the floppy and then drop to DOS. run fdisk /mbr and it will erase and create a new MBR for you. If you need more info on this go Here. This may help you out. I must warn you that sometimes if your problems are bad enough, running fdisk /mbr may cause you to have to reinstall your OS.

I was getting enumurate win32_Bios erros and this was due to my bad MBR. It did get fixed with the new MBR. I know that your errors may not be the same as mine, but having a corrupt MBR can cause a lot of problems. Do not use the recovery consle to fix the MBR!

Good luck and I hope you get things worked out.

could it be something as simple as say, having no sata lock? or not having it enabled?
