Returned from a biz trip and the until was frozen. Unplugged and rebooted, froze on powering up. The drive was making a clicking noise. Tried new image, had the same problem. I purchaed a new drive and installed the image. When I booted there was an mesage in the mesages folder stating that there was some kind of problem. I ignored and deleted. Worked fine for a week. This morning ABC DT out of NY began to pixilate. At noon the machine showed a green screen with severe error message.

Is it the drive(s)? or another problem such as the power supply?

Perhaps a combination... An out of spec power supply that takes out the drive. Happened to a Huges I had (still have the diskless carcass) When it killed the second drive, it got retired.
