I no longer have this problem after replacing the SATA data cable with a
better quality latch cable. Recently I rebuilt the computer with the
problem and used a cheap cable again, how quickly you forget - the
problem recurred. The computer is now running OK with a set of good
quality cables. The computer is in an office and is used every day, all
day so it is getting a good work out - and its stable.
