Dear
The pc worked great. The same day it was used, the user went away from his pc and after a while came back to his pc:
He saw a black screen with a test that nothing is there (very ruf translating).
So I entered BIOS, I only see the DVD writer, no hard disk.
I disconnect the cable that connects the harddisk to the motherboard. System starts normal, I thaught :OK, I will go home now.
Helped this old man using a nog that old computer ( bought 13-10-2012) and is made by a company called *** (in Belgium). so it's not a HP or Dell or something known.
It's a build pc, but worked great, although he said that sometimes it freezes.
An yes, after a while, while I wanted to leave , it freezes. desktop become empty (like if windows7 was shutting off).
then bsod then system restarted, then the same error (nothing to start for).
back to bios: no harddisk to see! pfff.
I connected another harddisk (has xp on it). Iwanted to check if it's running: NO problem. bios sees the harddisk and system even booted up (didn't espected this, but xp does say that big change are made in the system.... ).
Anyway, system workswith this harddisk. tried the Original one: bios doesn't see it, tried the xpharddisk, works!.
tried a few times and same results
Left windows xp running a little bit, opened some programs, ... blabla.
then again the Original harddisk back in: bios sees the harddisk.
But this time it does not boot up but Always the bsod error.
anyting I try(save mode, last known good conf..., .... ... ),same bsod.
I don't believe the harddisk is broken, I'm now finished backing up the data, sO harddisk works great.
Can it be the bios?the motherboard is a Gigabyte 1155Z77x-d3h atx
video: ASUS GTX550 ti 1G
cooler master GX 750Watt
corsair DDR3 8GB 1600 2*4GB vengeance
intel 1155 Core i7-3770 3.4Ghz.
harddisk is: western digital 3.5"sata3 1tbcaviar blue
This all is according to the invoice.
If I see the harddisk, it does not mention the 3 after SATA!.
Help?
