Super Virus or Coincidence?

This is a post for viewers' comments. Recently with in the time span of a week and a half, I have personally witnessed 4 incidences of bizarre computer system crashes due to hard drive failures. The symptoms are all the same. Upon booting up the computer and after the windows OS splash screen, the computer will blue screen and then restart. The same thing will happen every time upon subsequent boot-ups. The blue screen of death will happen in the same spot even when booting into safe mode. Upon taking the hard drive out of the case and plugging it in to another system as a slave drive in an attempt to recover the data on it, the system has a hard time recognizing what the hard drive is; in fact, most times it doesn't know what that hard drive is and will crash windows explorer. Have any one else experienced this and has brushed it off as normal hard drive failure? I am interested in what you have to say about it. Please leave your thoughts and comments to this entry. Thank you.
