Hog 3 shutting down

About a week ago my console shut down in the middle of programming. It then attempted to restart but just keep going to the start up(very first) screen and then would go black for a second and then the back to the first screen. It did that a few times till i powered down. i tried to restart and it was doing the same thing. I had remove the power cable and wait a minute and then it started correctly. it worked fine the rest of the day till i went to shut it down at the end of the night and it started to shut down but then went to the start up screen and started to loop again. I was running 3.1.7 and decided to do a clean install to 3.1.9. Well today it shut down on me again while programming and started to loop on the start up screen but after the second loop it actually started so I logged back into the show and continued programming. What do you guys thing it could be? I'm on a battery backup so I don't think it was an external power issue. I was logged on as a client. Thanks in advance for any help!!

    Mitch that's what it does. It goes back to the blue logo screen and starts to "probe the disk". I bet it's the original hard drive. The hog 3 has a 2005 manufacture date.

    Marty I'm just about to check all connection. The hog 3 was running a client....The server was a laptop running windows 7. There was no interruption in the show. The server kept running fine.

    Thanks for the ideas guys!! I will keep you post on what I find out. Please keep the ideas coming.

    update: opened her up, checked all connection and cleaned her out. All connections seemed fine. The IDE cable to the hard drive pushed in a little but not much at all. It wasn't to dusty inside. hopefully just shaking all the cables did something. I start a commercial tomorrow so I will see what happens.
