A couple of months ago, we had a power surge at our house that harmed

I have since have had a difficulty whenever I try to transfer large
files on the hard drive. When I try, my computer restarts or freezes.
I have since replaced the mobo (Soyo Dragon Plus SY-KT600), my memory,
and my hard drive.
Changing my hard drive and motherboard made no change. My computer
would alternately freeze or reboot during the installation phase.
After installing new memory (from Crucial, specifically for my new
mobo), my computer doesn't even boot properly, and never gets to the
menus in the mandrake install cd.
No real idea here, but I have heard of something similar and it was the
cabling that was damaged. Again because of a power outage. Might not
be the
case with your machine though, but worth a check just the same.
