Hi Seif

If I can add my two cents. I had a problem with my machine a while ago
to do with the onboard SATA controller. I had semi frequent crashes (in
both win & lin), and after a month or two of this the hard drive would
give up. A reformat would bring it back to life. Anyway, you may try
going to the motherboard manufacturers page and see if there are any
bios updates, and this solved my problem.

Cheers,
Michael
