Temperamental Mobo/HDD?

[Mickk]

All I can suggest is that you look up your motherboard type using it's serial number and see if there is some sort of history of 'issues' that it might have.

It *might* be your MB is 'killing' your HDD's for some reason.

Failing that, try another brand of HDD, say Seagate for instance ( it seems to be the most popular brand from my local PC shop according to their website).
The exact unit is -> Seagate Barracuda ST1000DM003 3.5" 1TB 64MB 7200RPM HDD, so you can find it at your PC shop if you are interested.

Other than that the 'Blue' series of WD HDD are the next in line.

Also, what is the environment like near/around your PC? An odd question I know, but lots of stuff can make your PC or components sad.

edit: I did a little gooogle with the info from your OP (Asus Desktop Mobo, UEFI BIOS with the 1155 intel socket) and there are 4 or 5 MB's which match that description.
