my computer seems to randomly just shut down, and when it reboots it does not find any of the IDE drives. To fix this problem I have to unplug any one of the IDE devices reboot, when it finds them turn off the computer plug it back in and then it runs again fine for a while. I use my computer now mostly just to surf the net, so I don't know how valid my point is that this usually happens when AOL and IE are open. However it also happened before AOL was installed on my system. I am running Win XP Pro, full edition. I have an Abit KT7 Raid Mobo. Is the board messed up, are my IDE channels or cables screwy, is it XP that causes this?? It really gets annoying so if I could get any help I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance for any help.
