When i switch on the computer(this error appears occasionally), it says:
Pri Master S.m.a.r.t. Command Failed.
Press F4 to resume
I press f4 and it boots as per normal after that. I replaced my motherboard about 2 to 2.5 months ago and the HD problem started about 1 month ago. There is a 'zzzp' sound from my CPU and my computer hangs for a few seconds. Usually it works fine after a few seconds but sometimes the zzp sound is continous at small intervals and the computer hangs completely until the zzp sound ends or i restart the computer. I've tried formatting and reinstalling windows, and well no luck.
I looked around to see what s.m.a.r.t. command failure means and i came to know that it means 'impending hard drive failure', heh i hope i don't have to get the HD changed.
My harddrive is 80GB sata.
