Alright, we're talking about the "second puter" in my sys. specs. here. The other day, my mom goes to boot it up and it says that there was a boot failure and to put in the system disc to continue. It had Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit on it and I had been wanting to put my copy of Win7 on it, so I just put in the Win7 disc and booted from it. I got to the installation and decided that I just wanted to put my new Seagate drive in instead of using the old one, so I replace the drives and put Win 7 on the new drive. It's been working absolutely wonderfully for about 4 days. About 15 min. ago I went to get on and heard an odd noise coming from the hard drive, it spinning up and clicking. Almost immediately I blue screen, it says it tried dumping physical mem. but failed, and says it encountered a crucial somethinganother error, so I restart. It seemed to be working (it gave me the option to boot into safe mode and stuff). Then, about 30 sec. later everything locks up (except the clock gadget oddly enough), the hard drive makes the sound, it blue screens, and says it had a boot failure and for me to insert the disc, JUST like how it did with the drive I replaced. I've been using that same copy of Win7 on my main rig for almost a month now with no problems whatsoever except for the volume going up and down really fast sometimes, but I don't know what causes that. I really doubt that both of the drives would fail. Oh, and the first one didn't freeze up or make the sound before giving me the boot error thing, it just did it on startup. So maybe there's something up with my motherboard, my OS, the fact that I installed a 9600GSO recently, I don't know, I need some help :/
