Hi!
OK, here is the deal. I was playing Arma II, and the game got suddenly stuck. OK, I restarted my PC and then the problem(s) started.
Windows 7 (64-bit) gives me to options (as always when something goes wrong):
Windows failed to start. A recent hardware of software change might be the cause. Blablabla...
- Launch Startup Repair (recommended)
- Start Windows Normally
Description: Fix problems that are preventing Windows from startign.
IF I choose Launch Startup Repair, it runs that some kind of diagnosis (5-10min), and says something that the problem can not be fixed...
IF I choose Start Windows Normally, it goes to the Windows 7 load screen, about 5 seconds and the SATA2 hard drive shuts down?!
OK, I was quite sure, my HDD was broken, so I tried with my older 120gb IDE (Win 7 installed, too), BUT the same thing happends again?!
SATA2 HDD: 1TB Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 (the newest model)
IDE HDD: 120GB Seagate Barracuda 7200.7 (~5 years old, always serverd me well)
So, where could the problem be? Very unlikely that with HDD, because both react the same... My gaming PC just 2 months old ...
Could it be with the motherboard or RAM ? What do you think people?
PC´s specs:
PSU: Corsair TX850
MOBO: MSI P55-GD65
RAM: 4GB OCZ Platinum DDR3
CPU: Intel Core i5
GPU: XFX Radeon HD 4870 512mb
HDD: 1TB Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 (ST31000528AS)
Help very much appreciated!
THANKS!
