been on it all morning no issue. I got the update message and ms downloaded and did its thing. I dont usually let it do it automatically.

the OS was fresh install last night . worked fine. the system went to shut off like normal and I left it.

came back and it was off. hit power and it wouldnt do a thing. Imanaged to get it to the BIOS screen but none of my drives were there . Not my dvd drives or he hard drive.

I inserted the OS disk and restarted it. does nothing at all. none of the drives show at all..

the machine restarted it self and killed it. I changed hard drives and still nothing. nothing showing up in the BIOS for any drives.

pretty hot since I was going to sell the system today and cant . it wont do anything.

I did swap BIOS battery also. cant load a cd cause the system doesnt see any drives

yeah....I did...but there was no reason 3 different drives would dissappear at once. The update complete ..no power outage or anything. I was watching and got up to go take a shower .

I also tried another hard drive. none of the drives show up period. I was about to sell the system. now it appears to be just parts


HP e9120Y Phenom II x 4 system ...toasted by microcrap. I used it for hours this am no issue

anyone have suggestions? I need to get a USB flash drive unless I figure out how come none of the disk drives are showing up in the BIOS. I dont know how else I can get the system to reload windows.
