I've got a machine I use for old games:
GA5AX, K6/3, Voodoo 2 SLI, S3 Trio, EWS64XL, SW60XG, Quantum FireBall and a CD ROM.
Now I put a second HD in [IBM Deskstar].
It runs OK for a while, then the Quantum sounds like someone hitting a tin lid with a spanner. So I take it out, and try it in another machine. Works fine. Put back in the original machine, everything hunky dory.
Leave it on a few hours, turn it off, turn it on. Quantum has failed. Disconnect IBM, Quantum fine. Wait and try again with both. Both fine. Then again... no IBM drive. WTF!
I am wondering - is this likely to be a power supply problem? Maybe it can't handle the higher load now? Grateful for advice!
