Disk boot failure insert system disk and press enter

Ok, this is something that is driving me nuts. I leave all my pcs on all the time...24/7. Sometimes when I come into my office in the mornings my pc will have the black boot up screen and at the bottom it says "Disk boot failure, insert system disk and press enter".

I can reboot the pc from there (usually killing the power to power supply and turning it back on) and the pc will boot up fine and run fine. This may happen once every couple of weeks...not very often. I have recently upgraded my pc with a newer motherboard, ram and cpu. This problem happend with my old stuff and with the newer stuff. I've run test on the hd's and get no problems.

Any suggestions...do you think it's the power supply?

Thanks!
 
im getting the same problem, i dont think boot sequence will make any difference for this problem, i have changed it all around, and not even removing CD-ROM from the bood sequence totally works
 
Check the connectors to your hard drive - particularly the power connector. It's a wonder that connectors work at all these days considering how cheaply they are made. I've had to tighten the little female contacts inside the shell of the power connector on mine before. So far it has only been on one of my drives which I seldom use any more - I guess that pin either gets hot or corroded for some reason.

I finally turned off auto reboot on error thingy and I finally got a blue screen crash and it said PFN_LIST_CORRUPT. I've run memtest on this pc all night and it passed 46 times with 0 errors.

Doing a search on the net for PFN_LIST_CORRUPT seems to lead to a driver issue. Anyone got any suggestions on how to track down which one is causing this? I cleared out the Event Viewer the other day and started fresh with it. Event Viewer shows a few warnings, but no errors and the warnings are not near the time I got the blue screen crash either. 🙁
