i got it to install, but it freezes after a few minutes, usually, if i
havent used it for a few hours it'll work for a while, but ultimatly
it always freezes.

this is the second hard drive in under 3 years, are durons that
unstable that they systematically destroy hard drives?

The CPU proper won't destroy your hard drive.
You may have a problem with the motherboard, overheating of the drive
(not enough ventilation), or you may just be purchasing drives from
bad manufacturing lots.
It's possible, but in my opinion not highly likely, that your power
supply might also be failing.

If the drives are under warranty check the manufacturer's website for
warranty replacement information.
Western Digital, for one, will let you search by model and serial
number for the drive's warranty status.
