Press F1 to Resume -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- So I pressed F1, and the next screen is this: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Reboot and select proper Boot device or Insert Boot Media in selected Boot devices and press okay -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Nothing happened after that. By the way, both my optical drives are "blind" (they still open and close but can't read anything). So anyhow, I re-started the computer and must have pressed F8 because a screen popped up and I was asked to choose a boot device. I guess both my primary and slave storage devices are Western Digital (I forgot what the slave was though) so when I saw the options, I picked the WDC one (I now know that was the slave). After I did that, I once again got to the "Reboot and select proper Boot device" screen and the next screen was just the "_" (the prompt?) going down line after line indefinitely.

Yesterday, I spent a lot of time playing Battlefield 3. Oddly, my PC randomly just shut down without warning. It did this a few times, and each time I just turned it back on. However, the final time this happened, my PC started in POST saying "Primary Slave Hard Disk Error". I have heard a lot of possible explanations for hard disk this,but I was wondering if anyone could help. By the way, I have two hard drives, neither are detected in BIOS, even when plugged in very securely. If you need additional information, let me know and I can help you to help me! Thanks!

Here's my theory, tell me if seems likely: Could it be that my power supply was failing (causing my PC to shut down randomly) eventually, my power is at the point where it doesn't have enough power to boot my HDD. Does that theory sound likely? m 0 l popatim a c 1334 G Storage 19 June 2013 00:25:56 Hdd spinning up uses about 10w. Motherbd uses 40 ish cpu
