Re: MAJOR Problem! Help!

Yes, to reset the BIOS, you have to remove the CMOS battery at let it sit for about 10 minutes. I would then go back into the BIOS and check that your motherboard is detecting everything it should--RAM, HDs--and is running at normal temps.

...And you've probably already checked this, but make sure all your fans are running, and all cables are connected securely.

Re: MAJOR Problem! Help!

I agree with Raj. It's sounding more and more like a bad MOBO. Have you tried a different cable for the drive to see if it may be bad?

If you have a spare MOBO laying around, you might use it as a test with your drives.

Re: MAJOR Problem! Help!

Hi was your computer set up with raid enabled if so you will get a non system disk error when you reset bios because raid defaults to disabled when you reset bios
Hope this helps

Re: MAJOR Problem! Help!

Hmmmm, quite a riddle. 'Bad motherboard' is too broad for the guessing game. So please narrow iyt down to a specific part of the mobo.


How about reflashing the BIOS. If the BIOS is corrupted somehow, it will give these kind of errors. Did you update lately or install new devices?

I guess you checked the CPU fan, Graphics and northbridge temps, in case it might be overheating
