Default I knew my computer was working too well...

Well, just as I thought I had all the problems worked out with my computer, another arises.  I won't go into detail with my other problems, I'll just say I've had about 5 different harddrives in here.  The MB is, or has been fine...

Anyway, this started yesterday morning.  I can't remember exactly what happened sence I just woke up, but I had left my computer one all night, and when I got to it, it was locked up(suspend and screensaver are both disabled...)
I reset it, and POST goes fine, but it hangs at a at the windows loading screen with the HD light on.  I cut it off by the button, and back on, and it was fine the rest of the day.

Now, today.  I left it on once again, this time, the mouse was locked up.  I reset it, and it hangs at the CD ROM boot check.  I think it had check the HD by then.  And I should mention, one CD ROM was flashing, and I couldn't eject it.  So I cut it off, back on, and it gets to the windows 98 loading screen, then the HD light says solid and it never finishes loading.  I reset it, and I get to Scan disk, but it locks up at 0%...  I reset it again, and here I am now.  As far as I can tell, it's working fine, but having trying to boot 3 times isn't a good sign...  Would you people first suspect a bad/dieing motherboard, or a bad harddrive?  I should say, the majority of the problems I've had where with faulty maxtor harddrives, so this wouldn't be uncommon...
