Adrian on video I agree it does look like a video problem but then we have 3 of 4 drives dead and one magically resurrected itself. With those odds Bush is more likely to make a smart decision lol.

Memory can also cause issues that look like that. On the tuner card didn't see that but good call ... hope he gets it sorted

another drive was working again!! now left 1 HDD that seem to be corrupted. in my computer the drive will appear "inaccessible".

and in disk mgmt, the drive appears to be empty!

finally i used recovery software and managed to see all my files inside except there's some unknown directories found in it which might be the source of the errors??

shld i backup all the files and reformat the drive? or is there other way make the hdd alive again?

Hmmm looks like changing the PSU was perhaps a good idea if 3 of those 4 drives are working now. If you have stuff you need on that drive grab it now while you can and reformat. Thats what I would do then there is no playing around you will know after format if that drive is ok

I agree. Grab all the data and reformat. Heck, redo the partitions too!
