I have a power Mac 7200/120 I write on it mostly and a while back the og drives dies so I blue SCSI v2 swapped it and everything was fine. The motherboard seemingly died,had a friend in Finland send one here to America with a ton of funky candy. Anyway I threw that in and it worked fine. A few months later here we are, I'm reading and writing onto and off of floppy disks and the first time I was just doing a spell check and it studdered and then froze on the screen telling me there's a problem reading the floppy disk. Nothing works but the mouse still moves around. It just happened again but this time I was trying to save a new text document to a completely different disk with only one other document on it so there's plenty of space and it tells me again there's a write error and freezes with the only seeming solution being unplugging the computer and letting it do its disk aid recovery when I go to turn it back on. Idk enough to even start help plz lol

Has the machine, or it's power supply been recapped?
