a machine that new, debris shouldn't be a problem, sounds like a video card issue or PSU...if you are under warranty, they should be able to fix it without disturbing your HDD ....has anyone ever heard of "BackUp's"? ...I recently lost the HDD on my workstation but  had a full Image on another machine on my network ...never missed a cycle after installing another HDD..... Raid 1 through Raid 5 is also our friend!!!!

I wasn't sure which PC it was...the new or the old and do know that he kept it in an enclosure/cabinet. Hmm, the title does say new. I guess I missed that part. LOL

He did state that he does backups to a separate drive. And since he has a proprietary PC and also not a server PC, I assumed that it does not have raid.

Yeah, it could be a driver issue or the psu.

You should be able to find out by viewing the docs at the website. You can then mirror your drives.

Raid can be very useful. Most people don't use though.
