    PSU failing?

    • "Short self test also failed because of read element" = Replace Hdd - Its an IDE drive to likely its on is way out
    What is the health of hdd in harddrive sentinel?

    I would replace the psu or test for a few day with know working unit - even a entry level psu will be fine - no need to spend big cash on 80+ units lets just get it working
    Can upgrade Psu to 80+ on new build

    Power supply are hard to test - only way is to replace and hope for the best
    If able to open PSU and check if any damaged /leaking capacitors ?

    • "The device, \Device\Harddisk0\DR0, has a bad block." - Could be HDD with bad sectors / Or dvd rom
    Or
    When watching a movie on disk could be scratched on disk which is unable to read and skips a few frames

    We would need just to verify of the harrdrive is "harddisk0"

    The two faults seems to point to Hdd and Psu

    Bigger fail?

    I voted for BD . The fact that AMD has been very secretive , All the delays and a WR OC to me is nothing but a FAIL to me , Lots of fluff no substance . The rest of the list is not as much to me as this is . Why is SB on there ? That is no were near a fail and as for the political stuff goes WE ALL KNOW THEY HAVE FAILED ! The last one on the list I do not even know what that is .

    Failed to lock the file, Module Disk power on failed on VMWare

    Is this a symptom of a failing PSU?

    If the machine is failing to POST then it isn't related to anything with the trojan/worm.

    It can be a failing battery, try what imperialreign suggests to test.
