Hi guys, i got a new pc today after my old antec psu died on me, i plugged in my new one and it booted up fine, the pc loaded until the windows loading thing came up (3 blue bars go across screen repeatedly). Then the machine rebooted itself and it did it again. I'm assuming this means that when the PSU died it took my hard drive with it, i was wondering if this meant that it has literally 'DESTROYED' my hard drive, or simply corrupted the data on it. Also, my 2nd hard drive was also plugged in (does not have windows installed on it), when i switched it to be the main drive, the machine failed to boot (light flashed on my fan, then went straight off!) - i'm not sure if this was because i didn't plug it in properly or something, but i didn't bother checking as it didn't have the OS on it anyway.
If i do a fresh windows install on my primary HD, will my second HD still have its data intact, or is it likely to be ruined as well?
and there was me thinking that £90 power supplies would protect the hard drives... motherboard/gpu/ram seems to all be fine
Thanks guys!
