Now as I wondered why it died, I searched the internet for reasons. I heard a noise, a hard drive clicking in a sense, but the internet said this could be caused by an internal physical problem with the drive or an electric problem. Which brings me to my point, two of my usb ports will work sometimes and not other times. And it's not the wiring because in the front, there are two ports, and only one of them has the flickering power problem, same in the back, except 1/4 ports has the power flickering problem. Also, I use vista's voice recognition, (it's really quite fun =P), and my mic will sometimes just stop working for 3-4 seconds every 10 minutes or so. this happens with very close timing, almost in sync, to the usb flickering problem. SO, finally, to my question, is it my power supply's fault for all of this because i don't wanna install a new hard drive just to have it be broken instantly? I wouldn't suspect it if it was only the usb ports having this problem. And the hard drive died while I was deleting the readyboost cache off a flash drive, printing something, and checking my rss feeds. I had heard the clicking sound about once a day leading up to that point for a few weeks now.
