"Reboot and Select Proper Boot Device," etc. Error - Just Sometimes

Just an update. I received the WD7500AZRX drive today from Western Digital, installed Windows 7 and all updates, and I still get the "select boot device" error. So, I'd say it is definitely an incompatibility issue between the chipset and WD SATA 3 drives since the Seagate SATA 3 worked fine.

I updated all the firmware on my machine's hardware a couple of weeks ago. No change. I guess I'll have to stick to Seagate drives or WD SATA 2 drives until I eventually replace this computer.
