This machine is 8 months old
Specs;
ASUS M2N MX SE
AMD Athlon 4000+
1 gb ram
Originally, there was only 1 Samsung SATA based 160 Gb HDD with installed Win XP. Never had any problem. Two weeks back, I installed a secondary 360 Gb SATA HDD (Seagate) Since, then, intermittently every 5-10 days; I encounter the problem of computer not booting. When I check the BIOS config, it fails to recognize my primary 160 GB Samsung HDD. After I turn off computer, and restart after 5-10 minutes, the computer boots up normally. There is no problem once the OS Loads
What could be the problem? Is this defect of this mobo model? Please help - i am very anxious
I have never updated BIOS but will that help?
