I'm afraid, it might be your Power Supply. When did you add the last drive(s)? Did these incidents come up afterwards?
I'm not so sure about that. I added drives in December, and the problems started in March. I've already replaced my 350W PSU with a new Tagan 480W PSU last night, replaced my Northbridge fan, and added another chassis fan. It's just a mess around the drive area, since I got 5 HDs, a CD-burner, and a DVD player in this medium chassis.

Maybe it is a combination of the heat problem and a too low voltage problem which only leads to the lock up if the temperature raises above a certain point so that the voltage goes even further down to the point that it finally causes the lock. I don't actually know whether you can use two or more PSU in one and the same box (I still have to check that for myself), but if this is possible it might be part of the solution beside the point to get the air better circulating inside your box for better cooling characteristics. In case you would try to put an additional PSU inside your box and it works out please let me know, because I would definitely go for that too (pretty much earlier than without that experience), since I have another two disk drives too which I would like to use in my machine. Well, at least good luck Martin
