I just rebuilt my system and everything has been well for about a week. I left in the morning with everything working and returned with everything down. At first windows was frozen and when I rebooted, windows would load and then freeze. After rebooting a few times, it no longer recognizes an operating system or my slave drive. I'm thinking either reset the cmos or reload the bios? Anyone else have a clue what could of happened? Everything is brand new and should not be doing this. The pc does get hot but not anything unbearable. I have thermal grease on the processor and the bios did not register an alarm for out of temp. I;m wondering if the temperature although not extreme may have been to hot to long. I always leave the pc running because I heard rebooting is worse on it then leaving it on. I have the following system:
ABIT IC7-G motherboard with Bios 28
3.0 GHz Northwood Intel with HT
4-512 MB Dell SDRAMs - total of 2GB
2 HDs - one Maxtor 80 GB serial ATA and one Western Digital 30 GB IDE
Radeon 128 MB VRAM
Thanks for any help.
