I originally thought that the hard drive was bad so i tested with another that I know is working. The same thing happened.
When the HDD freezes the system crashes and eventually powers off. (hard power off)
When it restarts the BIOS says there is no drive installed (the same with both drives)
I let it rest for about 5 mins and it all works perfectly again for about another 5 mins.
Now I thought it was a heat issue so I took the laptop apart and removed a fairly big ball of dust. But still, even when the system is cool it still stops working after a period of time.
The only two parts that could be the prob could be the data converter (from sata to the board) or the board itself.
Anyone got any ideas ?
