Default SMART failure predicted on primary master

yay.

This is a drive that is only one month old. I have had to install, remove, and reinstall windows on it a few times due to various problems, but still - it's only one month old. It's too young to die. Why is this happening?

More info: my computer has had a problem for the last six months: it randomly restarts every so often (usually about once every five hours). When you get back into windows, an error report shows asking me if I want to click a button to send it off into the abyss.

At first I thought this was a hard drive problem - I had a raptor 80gig at the time. When I replaced it with this western digital, I got the same problem. Someone told me it might be the power supply then. Is this contributing to the drive failing?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
