Early last week my PC failed to boot. blue screen of death on ntoskrnl.exe (win2k).
also got bad sectors on my 60GXP. initially i thought my ibm 60GXP died, but my other old drive wouldnt install win2k or 98 either, and exhibited the same issues, even on a new cable.
eventually i went back to my old favorite FSB of 150, as i was on 135 for some unrelated benchmarking. i.e. was (10x135=1350), now back to my old (9x150=1350).
and NO, my PC is 100% stable at 150Mhz fsb & overclocked to 1350Mhz. and it has been for 3 months... till now.
so there i was... back up again. thinking the only plausable cauzes of my grief were a dirty power supply, bad PSU or bad mobo.
now tonite, ive been cruzing the net, searching for the cure for cancer, and ripping 30 odd music CD's. a light nites work.
when half way through ripping a CD my computer spontaneously REBOOTS!
now that im back in whenever i insert a CD into either cd drive (pioneer 106S or ricoh12x10x32x) they make repeated seeking noises when a cd was inserted.
whats up?
is my PSU on the way out?
or is it my mobo?
for more info i have posted a more detailed thread in the Hard Disk forum.
