Alright I want to nip this in the butt before it becomes a problem. My computer, occasionally, doesn't POST. I have to cut the power from the PSU switch to get it to shutdown. Happened 3 times since I started running my comp... out of 30 recorded starts.

The computer is just over a month old. I haven't really stressed it (I probably should have.) and I had to send back for a replacement drive already (last HD failed)

Specs:
CoolerMaster Centurion 5 Case
Enermax Liberty 500W PSU
Foxconn MARS mobo
Intel Q6600 @ 2.4GHz
EVGA 8800 GTS 512MB (G92)
4x1GB Crucial Tracers @ 1066MHz
Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 500GB HD
Some ASUS DVD+DL Burner that is hella loud (but cheap)

The only thing that has recently occurred which may be the culprit is the Seek Error Rate tanked on me... apparently for no reason.

(cut off the last 3 days... it's sticking at 60/61)

Any Ideas?
