I recently purchased a CMS 20 meg hard card, which according to the
instructions I placed in the left-most slot of my PC.  Since the CMS
card seems to take up just over 1.5 slots, and all of my other slots
are full, this was the only place for it anyway.

However, when I have my PC on for more than about three hours, I start
getting 'sector not found' errors, and eventually the entire machine is
operationless.  I discovered that this was because the hard card was 
overheating.  Now I'm running my PC with the case open and a house fan
pointed at the hard card.  This works great!! (but not a permanent solution).

I have a brand new 130 watt power supply.

Has anyone had similar problems??
