Hello Everyone! This is my first question here! Glad to be using HDSentinel! I have just bought a Seagate Barracuda 500GB 7200RPM. I checked it at the home of the seller and the health was at 100%. I bought it and visited to a shop to buy a new PSU as well which was Corsair a CX600! I came back home i fitted the PSU but when I tried to connect it, i found that it doesn't have a 4-pin connector for my Mobo! I went to another shop and bought a connector.

Well after setting up everything I powered up my PC and checked the health of my HDD. It was 100% that time. Power on time of my HDD is around 5 days and the health is reduced to 40%. Temps are always fine. The error says that problems occurred during the spin up of HDD. Click on this link to see a screenshot of HDSentinel:

Thanks in advance for any help. :)

Generally if the power source is correct, then there should be no problems with spin up, but sometimes cables, connections, power cable splitters/extenders, 4-pin -> SATA power cable converters can cause troubles during spin up. This is usually not really related to temperature and I completely agree that a 600W power supply should be more than enough.

I'd verify cables, connections, may try to connect the hard disk to different power cable if possible, just to verify if there is any difference. The detected problems remain until you manually clear them in Hard Disk Sentinel but the important is that there should be no new problems reported.
