Guys, Sorry for the noise. I fixed the problem by buying myself a new SMPS. The SMPS was to blame. I have several other PCs which run just fine. Whose disks never failed. I am feeling stupid but I hope the feeling passes. ;) For the archives in case anyone feels that they are having too many disk crashes the first suspect should always be SMPS. Actually last year I had the same problem. I replaced the SMPS and the mobo as well. And the reason my mobos never failed probably have got to do with the fact that they are all original Intel ones. Thanks for helping me out. A special thanks to Nick Holland for giving me prodigious amount of information/advice in private. Thanks once again. -Girish
