I've lost 3 harddrives in the last 12 months, and it is starting to piss me off. Can any techfaggots give me some tips on how to stop this from happening?

3 harddrives 3 different manufacturers one was a HDD one was a SSD one was a SSHD all are now dead in the water and are not even recognized as drives by any motherboard. I am assuming this is from glowniggers because otherwise I have the worst luck with computers. I am also techtarded, and so maybe I am just doing something wrong.

Any tips are appreciated.

Try to find a common cause. My first guess would be the power supply in your computer is fucked up and isn't regulating the right voltage, or isn't able to maintain voltage if providing high current. Next, what's your house power like? Lots of spikes or voltage drops on your AC power can be hell on electronics. Instead of troubleshooting I would just get a UPS to condition the power being supplied from the wall, and a new quality power supply for your computer since the old one is probably fucked up. Finally, your mobo itself might be fucked. If you still have unreasonable failures time to replace that.

I appreciate this. I was wondering if it might be the power supply or motherboard. None my other computers in my house have problems, and so I am guessing it is localized to the hardware in the one computer rather than the electric in the house. I am curious to know if it is even possible for a virus to make a harddrive unreadable (I never want to underestimate the jews and their tricks), though a messed up powersupply or MB makes more sense.

It could be as simple as a fucked up connector on a power cable from your power supply. A little loose connection could arc and fuck shit up.

Always remember, if you don't have two backups you don't have any.

+1 here. I am betting your PS is jacked up. Ive seen this happen in friend's systems.

You can test all lines with a multi-meter but its probably just easier to get a different PS. Dont skimp on the cost, its one of the few things that will really keep your system working well.

I had one that was going bad and the "sleep" functionality stopped working correctly on my system and would do odd stuff. Replaced the power supply (and nothing else) everything is back to normal. Thats on my old i7 rig and was years ago. System is still going strong.

A multimeter might report the voltage is correct, but under load it may still drop
