Black screen of death followed by freezes
Hello guys
I was wondering if anyone could help me out here.
My server has run without any problems for a couple of months, but yesterday after a reboot i could not get my desktop, server never got past the black screen before login and no mouse cursor was present,just a black screen.
I tried using the built in repair functions in win7 only to completely ruin the install..
I then re-installed windows, and server seemingly boots fine, however, the pc will completely freeze and a hard reset is needed to get it back up again.
I dont know what triggers the freeze but it did happen both times flexraid is run.
Only thing i have changed is, i exchanged two bad WD20EARS drives for 2 new WD 3TB reds, i already had 4 of these drives and they work flawlessly.
All hardware more or less are brand new and have worked without a hickup for about 6 weeks,so why did it crap out now?
Any ideas on how i can see what is the cause of the freeze?
thank you
