Hm, I use the cdrom very seldom in this PC, as Lionel Bouton pointed out some K7S5As had electrical failures... I thought about PowerSuplly already, threw this though away because there is only The Motherboard cdrom (hardly used) 512MB RAM 3 HDDs old intel AGP Graphics Card, never used. connected. Can a bad Powersupply or weak mainboard create Uncorrectable Errors on HDDs? Again only a question to experience of this community... So should I buy a new board or a new Powersupply...
