Hello, I've got a question about a system I built. It's one and a half year old, and the problem has now just began arising. Sorry if this is a long post, but it's my first here!
When I am using the computer, after about an hour of doing stuff it just freezes, forcing me to restart. When I restart I get the following error message:
"reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key"
Long story short is that I've reformatted my harddrive, reinstalled Windows 7, and updated the bios, the problem still occurs. When I reformatted, I noticed it was switching the boot sequence from a 'windows drive' to a generic drive. I just deleted the windows drive and it works now. However I have been noticing the computer 'Windows' startup flash screen takes longer than it used to.
Whatever I've done, the problem still occurs, computer works fine for an hour, then freezes, I've got to reboot and figit with the bios.
Any suggestions on what the issue is? Here is my build:
