Vanishing harddrive
Hi folks prob wrong place so sorry in advance
ok my problem - My hard drive disappears it is a western digital 500gb sata
1: doesnt matter which port it is plugged into eventually happens
2: replaced hard drive still happens
3: replaced sata cable still happens
4: replaced motherboard still happens
5: happens when computer is running games, programs etc doesnt seem to discriminate
6: happens if it is main drive or if it is just as a backup one of them or both will go
7: if it is main drive computer wil freeze have to hold button down to turn off when it restarts bios sees the hard drive but windows wont load says disk read error alt, ctrl, del to restart does not work
8: only way i have ever got it to restart after this crash is to pull out sata cable and put it back in, different slot/same slot makes no difference out and in and it works again
anything i missed feel free to ask please help me!!
