boot disk failure
Hello,
I'm having a problem with my OS drive going offline. Most of the time I'm not at the machine when this happens only to come back and have a black screen telling me of a boot disk failure, I power down then up and system boots up no problem.
This has been an intermittant problem for about on month now, initially I supposed it was a failing OS drive so I RMA it to OCZ and installed my clone and away it went, so I thought "yeah it's my old drive" but it's happening with the clone as well.
So tonight I was at the machine and it happens, computer sort of freezes while typing in Mozilla, cant close programs then boom she's gone and starts to reboot, gets to screen where the drives show and says can't detect port 00, then tells me boot disk failure, I have to power down then up and system boots.
Man what's with that?
Broken port on MB, dud sata cable, Windows? I wish I knew.
Can someone suggest anything?
Cheers, thanks for listening
James
