I never would have guessed at it being a hard drive problem. I was still thinking it could be coincidence but it still is working flawlessly with the hard drive on the desk. I am glad someone else has had a similar problem so that I know it is a possibility. I also wondered about the screws but they are standard size. I also wondered if when they were tight it warped the drive slightly or something. I think grounding problems make the most sense though. I am pleased as a hard drive problem I can handle as opposed to a cpu or motherboard problem.
