Hello, I have a PC that I built for somebody that is having major issues. The PC boots to the desktop just fine, however this only lasts about a minute until the entire system hangs with the cursor still able to move. I've tried to reinstall windows, my usual go to for problems I can't figure out. But upon entrance to the recovery/installation screens, the CD loaded windows operating system tells me there is no hard drive, wtf???
I say again, the PC boots just fine, so the drive is (most likely) fine . But trying to reinstall windows is a no go since the drive is not recognized. It IS reckognized in the bios just fine though.... Which I find very odd. :/
The specs are as follows:
OCZ Agility 60gb HDD
AMD Phenom II X2 560
Gigabyte GA-MA78LMT-S2
ADATA DDR3L -1333 9-9-9-24
Windows 7 Home Premium
COOLER MASTER eXtreme Power Plus RS-460-PMSR-A3 460W ATX12V V2.3 Power Supply
I'd appreciate any assistance or tips anyone can give me!
Thanks!
