All started about a month ago.. I was getting reboots during games. After one particular reboot my slave drive failed to appear anywhere nor could I detect it.
Turned out a piece of memory was fubared, I removed it and the hard drive reapeared.. hurray...
A week later another piece of ram died. Somewhen during this period the slave drive had dissapeared randomly again. I replaced all ram and the hard drive reappeared...hurray again..
After realising I had put the ram in the wrong slots I changed them round...hard drive dissapeared, and no combination of ram positions brought it back after that. I searched the net for answers and got nowhere.
A few days ago I replaced the hard drive cables and sure enough the hard drive popped back to life. Later that day we had a powercut and yes, you guessed it... the slave drive went back to sleep. I've fiddled and removed and reseated things, I'm out of ideas.
Oh also, I can startup with just the slave connected, as in it actually shows up, but with both connected it doesn't want to know.
I have an abit nf7 mobo, 2600 barton 1 giggle of ram.
Help!
