PC problems

[Hawk-Eye]

Yo Guys,

Recently I've been having a problem where my HDD wouldn't load windows...after a restart...

Basically you see the typical loading screen and then it just goes to a BSOD for less than a second and restarts my PC...

so I spent some time figuring out and I found out that in the bios when its loading/checking all the drives some of the drives didn't appear in their appropriate locations:

SATA1: blblabla
SATA2: blablabl
SATA3: Blank(when there is supposed to be something)
SATA4: none

so I took the easy way out and took out the third SATA which is an additional HDD and now it works.

So right now I'm suspecting is a power problem.
I've a 650W Antec Earthwatts

Core2Duo
8600GT
2 HDD (250GB and 500GB)
2GB RAM

I've never had any long term problems before...dunno why it would fuck up now....

But I was wondering what you guys think...is it really a PSU problem? Or is the problem coming from my second HDD?

Either you have a dead drive or your SATA bridge is fucked.

Anytime I have ever had a problem like this, it's always been a toasted hard drive. Even if its intermittent.

EDIT: Try switching the drives around to see if they all work. If they do, and you can get all the drives to show up on SATA3 then you are probably right about the PSU.

well considering my internet speed streaming is kind of a bad option for now...(512kbps) I'm planning to upgrade it to 5Mbps since i found out recently I can handle it...(which I wasn't able to some years ago and i dunno why they suddenly upgraded my shit) but I think ill do it after I get back from HK.

 

[dead mike]

keep trying that hard drive, it will likely come back to life intermittently.... u can maybe save that pron

maybe you plugged it in wrong. i had a similar problem recently, same symptoms, and the problem was indeed the PSU. it was also a 650W antec.

yeah i tried to put it into an USB enclosure it's deinfietely the HDD...it's gone...

oh well...maybe someday I'll intend to fix it but not now LoL
