Seriously: The fuck just happened to my computer? Anonymous 2017-09-15 06:27:25 Post No. 62439429 [Report]

I just got it working now so this isn't tech support. So my computer was acting funny when I was doing some gaming earlier, I figure "ehh let's just reboot", and while I was rebooting I wanted to go into BIOS for a second.

So I tried that a few times, and it didn't work. Eventually, after like 5 resets, it DID work. But then Windows wouldn't boot. Uh oh.

So I grab my [spoiler]Windows 10[/spoiler] recovery disk. After trying automatic repair, it locks up on me. Every time I try to do something with it it tells me that there's no BCD and I need install/repair media. Hmm. Grab a Linux distro live CD. That works, but when I double back to actually wipe my hard drive, my hard drive is gone from the device list...

At this point I was frustrated as hell. Grabbed the flashlight and re-affirmed every connection between my motherboard, PSU and hard drive.

And then it suddenly started to work. Does anyone have any idea what happened here? I went from having entire USBs not recognized along with my hard drive to having no issues. I don't want my PC to shit out on me like this when I have a deadline to meet.

Could be nearly anything.

Could be failing PSU - try swapping it out for a know good one
Could be bad RAM - run memtest
Could be failing SSD - check SMART

You running any overclock?

Sounds like your motherboard is starting to shit out, or possibly your PSU.

I was running a 500Hz OC that tested stable. I turned it off.

I don't have an SSD. I can check on the RAM in a few hours

It's possible. You think if I leave my PC on long-term that'll help me figure out if something's going bad? I usually send mine to sleep or shut it off.

Replace your SATA cable. Clean contacts on the HDD PCB, both sides. Check your PSU.
