Bios only detects HD after multiple reboots
Last response: in Storage
I have a Western Digital Caviar Black 500gb 7200rpm 32mb cache HD. The HD was working perfectly for the first 4-5 months. Now when I turn the computer on in the morning the bios does not detect the hard drive until I manually reboot the pc a few times. After that my pc works flawlessly all day long. However I cannot put my computer to sleep or standby/hibernate, because after a few seconds of waking it up I get a blue screen and once again the HD is not detected by the bios until I reboot it a few times. I've tried increasing the time the bios allows the HD to try and boot up to 15 seconds, Ive tried switching sata ports on my mobo, and I've made sure the sata cable is securely connected, none of which has worked. can anyone help me out, I have no idea what to do?
I'm running Windows Vista 64 bit.
