| You could swap hard drives for a trial. Maybe it's your bios.

| Since it happens with both Win XP and Vista, the issue is hardware related. The no HD activity indicates a possible conflict between two components. You can troubleshoot that by removing one component at a time and restarting the PC. I doubt that the hard drive is bad, because if it was, the problem would be worst with time. |

| different post "thread" Seansmit17 admits to a faulty fan, and overclocking his CPU .. (IMHO) this is the cause of all his problems...

| Snuffy.. OCing the pc wont cause these problems.. plus its always done this even before i overclocked the cpu.. and the cpu is only overclocked a little bit.. from 2.66ghz witch is the stock speed up to 2.86Ghz. Ill try removing bits and see what happens. |
