BAH!!

I seem to be having this regular problem with my computer where the HDD's are not being detected on start up. It seems to be quite random, I just start my machine up and either they are detected or I just get nothing. I have recently changed the IDE cables, yet I'm still having this problem. Does anyone know what the problem might be, apart from the computer being shit

Cheers

i've had that very problem. my first guess is it's a gigabyte motherboard.

if it is, RMA.

if it isnt, i dunno

[Doddy]

I don't care what anyone says, Gigabyte has served me well for these 3 years!

i know this probably wont help, but try cleaning ya pc, get rid of all the dust and shit. mine kept fucking up, freezing and being gay, then BAM! no more problems. (make sure ya do it with a compressor or somethin, vacuum cleaners can apparently fuck ya puter up...)

i dont have anything in particular against gigabyte, except EVERY time i've had / seen this problem, its been a gigabyte board.
