So last month, my main system hard drive started throwing codes. No biggie, I don't think I'd ever had a hard drive failure in 20 years, so it was overdue. All around the same time I installed a new video card and power supply to feed it, and rotated another drive to be the boot/Windows drive. About a month later and it is throwing codes much worse than the last one. A few failures to spin up, and a few thousand bad sectors.

The PC is on a power conditioner/surge protector, but not an UPS. Did 'lightning' strike twice, or is there possibly an issue with my PC/motherboard frying my main drive? I am ruling out the power supply as that was swapped out around the same time as the drive.
