What's the Problem With My Hardisk

[ProtoType]

Example I installed a game in my hardisk(not the system hardisk), when I played it for maybe 30min my computer will turn off(will turn off like you pull the plug). Then when I turn-on my computer, then my computer cant find my hardisk. I have to turn my computer for 5 min before my computer will be able to detect my hardisk.

Is it maybe because of the power supply??

I have 3 hardisk: 80gb, 80gb, and 160gb

the 160gb is the one with the problem.

Whats your system specs, and more importantly whats your power supply?

COMPUTER SPEC:
Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.20GHz 3.20 GHz, 768 MB of RAM

Dont know the power supply. I didnt saw the box.

I'd lean towards power supply or the CPU overheating. Those older Pentium 4's got pretty toasty, and required a fair amount of power.

I'd lean towards power supply

I agree- Just "pop" the side panel off(at most three screws) and take a look at the PSU label
I had a similar spec pc with 3 HDD's running on a 600W PSU with no issues

It's already fixed. THanks for the replies. I removed my other HDD. I'm planning to buy a new power supply. The power supply is weak. LOL! THanks again everybody.
