So, my PC has had this problem for months now. And I still can't seem to figure it out. It's driving me crazy.
I currently have 3 HDDs (All SATA; 1 for OS, 2 for storage) and 1 Optical Drive (connected by some ribbon cable I forgot the name of) installed in my computer. My drives will randomly disappear from "My Computer" and become unusable. Even when I open diskmgmt.msc, the drive won't be listed after it disappears. The only way to use the missing drive again is to restart the computer. So far, I've only seen the drive disappear when I am accessing it. This happens to my optical drive, as well. I've checked all the HDDs through Speccy and CrystalDiskInfo and made sure all the connections in the tower are all firmly connected. I am running WIndows 8 Pro 64-bit.
I would provide more information, but I don't know where to begin. Anyone that can help me solve this would be extremely helpful to me, as this issue is VERY annoying. I can provide any extra information anyone needs to help solve this problem. Thanks in advance!
