I did a brief google search and havn't found a case that sounds like the problem I am having.
Okay so I recently bought a 1TB WD black drive. I cloned everything from my old drive over using acronis and its been working fine for a few days.
Now all of a sudden my screen will come up saying "encountered a problem"(or something along those lines) for a couple seconds and it restarts. I still have my old drive installed as well so it restarts and it boots off the old drive when its supposed to boot off the new drive. I did change BIOS settings to have the WD drive as primary boot choice.
The WD drive disappears from explorer once it reboots until I shut the computer off. Boot into BIOS and manually select the WD drive to boot from then everything is fine. windows explorer sees both drives for a few hours and it happens again. It will shut off, reboot using old drive and WD drive disappears until I restart.
It basically feels like the WD shuts itself off until I completely turn computer off then start again. although it disappears from the BIOS boot choices till I open BIOS and I set it as one again. Its weird. I doubt its a PSU issue as I bought a new one couple weeks ago, a SeaSonic 620 watt which is about 150 more watts than my computer would ever require.
Its completely random. i could be playing games for hours and itll work fine. but the computer could be sitting for about 20-30 mins and ill go to my computer and notice it restarted and the WD is no longer visible and its running off my old drive. It is frustrating. I tried switching SATA ports on motherboard.
