This could be any hardware problem. Can you be more specific?
Did you drop is or damage it in some way prior to this happeing or have you upgraded any other hardware?
What do you mean by resetting the hard drive? Did you format it and reinstall you OS?

Ok.
Just pulling the hard drive out and putting it back in won't do anything at all.
Have you got any back up or repair disks? I would try those first.
