Try a process of elimination, by swapping out each component and retesting until you figure out what is failing-- ie, swap the cable, try using another motherboard (or swap a drive that was "failing" on your problem system to another machine), and/or finally try swapping out the OS and try installing Linux or Windows and see whether this is a FreeBSD-specific problem rather than, say, a bad MB, flaky cable, bad power supply, etc.... -- -Chuck
