Ok, my complete setup is listed in my sig. I just got done with a burning binge of dvds. I burned over 60 DVDs in 3 days. BUT, my folder that saves the files is on D drive my maxtor storage drive.

I turned my computer off this afternoon and just got back home now. I powered on my computer and the bios screen came up and stayed a little longer than usual, but when to the windows XP loading screen. Once the windows XP loading screen got done, the monitor went to power save mode.

I then turned the monitor off, and back on. A green screen came up giving on of those microsoft error pages. I think I saw a hex address reference but I am not sure.

After rebooting windows came up...a little slower this time, but I am in Windows XP in normal mode right now.

I think my Raptor drive is dying? Can anyone give any suggestions?
 
Hmm that might be a problem. I don't have an extra PSU with that much juice. Do you think that the PSU might be causing this problem??

Click to expand...

try disbabling your overclocking settings. Windows really is not a fan of this with some mobos.
 
Ok, I just ran MemTest-86 3.2 and it came back clean. So far memory diagnostics and WD diagnostics came back both good??!?!?!

Hmm, I am at a loss.

Only thing I can think of is that I have been running the 1019 rev bios for about 4 days now????

Weird it hasn't done the same error since I rebooted?? One time fluke? Or be concerned....Hmm
