Hi, I recently bought 2 hard disks along with other things everything went in well except the hard drives which were a bit of a pain.
I've had the system running properly for about 2 weeks, but heres the situation;
I can switch the computer on and use it, play on it etc. etc. but after several hours or even minutes everything freezes. If I'm playing a game or windows media centre, it will freeze completely however if I have background programs such as temp monitoring programs will still visibly change but are completely unusable.
When the computer is restarted, it comes up as normal until it checks for drives. I detects my disk drive perfectly, however the 2 hard drives just disappear off the planet as far the computer is concerned, or on a rare occasion, the bios just displays a random set of 2 repetitive characters, when this happens it displays the hard drive as a 16gb hdd.
The primary hard drive is partitoned 4 times, into 230gb, 113gb, 113gb, 8gb and the second is split 3 times, into 240, 114, 114. If that information is any help either...
I sent the hard drives back on an RMA, because I just assumed that it was the hard drives that were the problem, but they came back with a sheet proving otherwise...
So I'm stumped to what it is.
I'm using the current gear;
Also, I assume that its not overheating of any of the parts, since I'm using an antec 1200, and the hdd temps stay at 27, and on rare occasion hit 28-29. Also, also.. the hdd are plugged into the 2 light blue sata sockets, for anyone who also has it could that be the problem?
Thanks:-
