    replacing my mobo with exactly the same.


    Hello, I have an image of my C partition where i have tons of programs, optimizations, custom settings, etc which took me like a month and a half to complete.

    My mobo is kind of giving me booting problems since long time ago, sometimes it dessapears and then suddently it appears again.

    I am in the middle of working on music compositions that I have to deliver very soon but the booting problem re-appeared.!


    If I go to the computer shop tomorrow and get exactly the same motherboard, would I be able to restore the image and get back to work inmediately??

    My mobo is an xfx nforce 750i sli.


    THANKS A LOT

    You won't need to restore anything, just replace the mobo.

    At the risk of being obvious, have you tried resetting the bios on your existing motherboard?

    Hey Snakeyeskm: I have tried exactly everything, I have been dealing with this problem for a year or so.
    I have had a very particular way of turning on my computer:

    -First I turn it on

    -The computer will get stuck with a "20" readout on the debug led (black screen)

    -wait for a minute or two

    -Then press reset so it will boot normally

    Yes I know what "20" means and I have done everything that comes to your mind. I have plenty of threads on the subject on Win7 forums.

    Thanks
