When I try to boot my computer, it goes through the normal motions until it tries to start Windows. The load bar stays up for a few minutes and then goes back a few steps, tries again, but the second time around it fails to do anything and leaves me with the message "Disk Boot Failure, Insert System Disk and Press Enter".
I haven't been able to try that yet because the disk is across the state at my parents house, I will be retrieving it this weekend.
When it goes through the second attempt at booting it displays a red blinking error message concerning the RAID, when at first it says it is healthy, it now says 'ERROR'.
This all started after I downloaded a new driver update for my nividia graphics card. Before, I have been having some trouble with it in escalating degrees. First, little error message pop ups saying the raid wasn't able to read, but I'd go into the setup and it would say both hard drives were healthy, so I figured it was just a communication error. Later on, it started to lock up, would freeze momentarily and then start to work moments later. Also, every once and a while the monitor would stop working with it, I'd be working on it and the next thing I know it is down, as if I had unplugged the monitor from the computer (the monitor doesn't turn off, just the computers connection to it does).
Here are some system stats to help people help me:
- Processor: Intel Core 2 Quad Q9300 2.5Ghz
- GC:: GeForce 9800 GX2
- MB: Nvidia nForce 780 Motherboard
- HD: Seagate Barracude 500gb (2 set up in Raid0)
- OS: Microsoft Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit
Any suggestions as to how this could be fixed would be greatly appreciated.
