Message: [QUOTE="Trouble, post: 71328, member: 3"] Hello and welcome to the forum. It sounds to me like you have a hardware issue, likely an issue with one or more physical drives plugged into the SATA bus, it might even be an optical drive if it is using your SATA architecture or somthing as simple as a bad SATA cable. OR Worse case, it could be a problem with the bus itself in which case you'll likely need a new MoBo. Try reducing you internal hardware to a bare minimum. One hard drive attached to SATA 0 (zero) and a single stick of RAM. IF possible remove any add-in cards if any are present. Disconnect everything that is not absolutely necessary from both your power supply and its' interface (cable or slot) on your mainboard. There seems to be some inconsistency when it comes to hardware enumeration and any attached device with a physical problem or an interface problem might be causing this. [/QUOTE]
