    Hi everyone

    I'm having the problems listed here: http://support.asus.com/faq/detail....9&os=&no=A9AE8BF4-52DC-771B-ADF3-6F203E22108E In addition, I occasionally get a bluescreen when resuming from sleep.

    All of Asus's "solutions" sound pretty lame, and I have a feeling it's just that my motherboard is broken. I have three different drives: 2x Samsung HD103UJ (F1 1TB) and one Samsung SP2504C (250GB). All three of them randomly stall, sometimes don't detect at boot and cause the system to hang, suggesting that it's not a problem with the drives or cables. I've tried updating the bios to the latest revision and have installed all the latest drivers from Asus' website (they're from 2009).

    Using speedfan to look at SMART values gives the following:

    Current boot disk:

    Old boot disk (I swapped to the other one in the hope that it would fix the bluescreens. It didn't):

    250GB backup drive

    These do have some worrying errors, but I have a feeling they may have been caused by the motherboard rather than the drives themselves.

    What do people think? Is this something I can fix with software, or are all my drives broken? And should I replace the motherboard and/or the drives?

    Thanks for any advice!
