What am I missing?

[cans]

Intel P4 2.4

Asus P4P800 Deluxe

2 PC2700 512meg Corsair Ram

Creative Labs Audigy MP3 sound card

Asus Nvidia 5600FX 128meg graphics

Seagate 60 gig 7200rpm hard drive C:

Western Digital 40 gig slave

Windows XP Pro

I've been having this problem for a while. I boot..no prob... a couple of
days ..no prob. Then I'll be working on something or other or surfing the
net and BAM the cursor stops moving and the system will not even respond to
when I try to warm boot.
I'll reset and the bios cant see one or both hard drives. So I turn off the
system push on the IDE connectors and most time it will boot just fine and
things will be okay for a while...days...weeks and then here we go again. I
have changed motherboards, power supplies, cables and I still get this
problem. Has anyone had this problem? I'm thinking it's one of the hard
drives connections not the mobo or the cables.

Any help?

You have a very high-end machine! Is the case over-heating? Is there
sufficient cooling?
