I built a computer in November. Ever since then I have been getting, at periodic intervals, the blue screen of death for something like failure to restart video card after timeout. So I figured it was my video card. I have tried a few different drivers so I'm pretty sure that's not the problem.
Now my computer is not recognizing my DVD-R's. I have 2 of them and the computer now has started regularly recognizing only one of them. When this happens, the BIOS doesn't even recognize them so I know it's not just Vista being stupid. It also switches which DVD-R it recognizes. Sometime it will be one and then the next day it will be the other and then the next day it will recognize both. I can always eject the drives though so I don't think it's them not getting power.
I'm thinking my mobo is failing but I thought I'd ask here and see if any of you have any other ideas for what could be causing this. Any opinions or ways that I could check different things?
