Two nights ago my computer was locking up, then shutting itself down. I suspected the problem to be the hard drive, or RAM. RAM is being tested as I write, and has passed 1 pass of MEmtest86+ off the Ubuntu live CD so far. I can still access files on the drive.
Seatools Results:
Short Drive Self-test - FAIL
Long drive self-test FAIL
Short generic PASS
Long Generic PASS

Powered_Up_Time is measured from power on, and printed as
DDd+hh:mm:SS.sss where DD=days, hh=hours, mm=minutes,
SS=sec, and sss=millisec. It "wraps" after 49.710 days.
Error 68 occurred at disk power-on lifetime: 11122 hours (463 days + 10 hours)
When the command that caused the error occurred, the device was active or idle.

- Do I need to buy a new drive?
- What does "pre-fail" mean in the smartCTL results?
- Which of these variables are important to look at?
- Is being on error 68 a bad sign? How many errors are normal?
Help me interpret hard drive SMART results and Seatools results?
