Hi.
My compaq presario v3700 has following problems:
1. Suddely windows 7 (with or w/o BSOD) freezes and system forces itself to shutdown.
2. When I restart it, nothing happens. only the compaq screen with BIOS button options. Out of 10 times, only once does windows starT, only to shut down again.
3. BIOS works very slowly. Its taking 5 minutes to get into action. It shows IDE NOT DETECTED.
4. Cant run Hard disk Diagnostic as it shows IDE not detected.
Today: somehow after many attempts windows started. I downloded Astra32 and after running it, the HDD Diagnostics shows IDE not detected. Whenever my system works fine, BIOS also works fine and works fast but when the bbt up problem persists, BIOS becomes very slow.
Please help me. What kind of a problem is it? I have tried reinstalling Win 7 and Ubuntu too. But same problem persists.
I dont think Hard drive is faulty because no data loss has been there. Its just that most of the times its not detected. :-/
this is the make of my HD: WDC WD1600BEVT-60ZCT0 ATA Device
