I have an LCD-TV connected to the onboard 6150 IGP on my
MSI K8NGM2-FID mobo via HDMI using a DVI->HDMI adapter. My computer has been restarting at random, using within the hour, either browsing the internet, streaming video, or listening to music. When it restarts, my hard drive disappears from the boot sequence so I can't boot to windows, although the hard drive still shows up under my SATA 1 primary in the BIOS. I randomly restart it several times or leave it off for a while and my drive will eventually show back up in the boot order and I can boot back into windows, but it is really random whether the first restart will work or leaving it off for an hour will work or not. Previously, I had a similar problem when I had an older samsung monitor attached to my PC via DVI, and it would do the same thing when it was connected to an external video card as well as if the card was removed and I used only IGP.
However, I don't get this problem, or at least it hasn't occurred, when I am using a VGA connection to diagnose the problem and see the BIOS. I am using windows without trouble right now.
What could be the problem? Or am I looking at the wrong location?
