Hi guys and girls (I know you are out there) of toms.
Let me get straight to the point. My gf was playing medal of honor on my pc yesterday. When I took her home I removed my harddrive and put it in a external bay for her to copy stuff.
She copies what she needs, I go home and slip in the harddrive and i'm staring at a blinking underscore. I tested ram, cpu, powersupply, gpu, sata cables, sata ports, bios boot settings and occasionally kicking the pc!
It shows the boot screen and immediately goes to the blinking underscore. In the bios it picks up the harddrive but since I do not have a secondary pc I can not check if it works being used as an external.
The specs are as follows:
windows 7 64-bit
c2d e6750 (stock)
intel dg33bu mobo (i know)
2x 2gb corsair ddr800 modules
ati 4850 512mb
550watt psu
1.5tb seagate 7200rpm hdd (bought last week)
any indication to what component is the cause of my hair loss would be greatly appreciated!
