i hate to say it, but check your power supply and/or conditioner... if you don't have a surge/conditioner on your system i would definetly get one... the reliability of my system went way up when i switched to an Enermax power supply coupled with a monster HTS2000 for my PC.... i have not had problems with RAM/MB(Asus/Abit), hard drives (Cheetah 15K RPM), or anything else for a few years... i mostly attribute that to the clean power i give it.. I cycle often and still don't have any issues with no power-on. I had a bad CPU about 4 years ago and a bad stick of RAM about that long ago and that was the last time i had problems... my system gets upgraded when i can double the CPU speed (about once a year, but most of the system satys intact, or gets a new MB if the old one does not support the CPU).
