Strange Hard Drive Issue
As of late my computer has been doing something strange. Basically the computer will lock up momentarily then resume normal operation.
However when I go to restart the computer the hard drive will totally disappear from BIOS and usually it will stay gone until I physically open my computer case and swap out which sata port my hard drive uses on the motherboard.
This is what is baffling to me though, after swapping out the sata port everything works like it should. The hard drive isnt showing any signs of failure and the mother board appears to work fine as well, matter of fact the sata port that originally couldn't read the HDD resumes normal operation.
So I do not understand what could be going wrong with my system. Is it the motherboard? Is it the Hard Drive? Both? Or do I have some sort of malware causing this?
