I've never seen this problem before. My PC has a hard time downloading almost anything, including web pages. It's a new PC (less than a year old) and this problem started recently.
I think it's...
That's it! My mobo has six SATA sockets. All I needed to do is plug the boot drive into socket #1 and it became the "master."
The mobo manual didn't explain that either.
Thanks.
I just built my own system ad it worked great from the start. But I the decided to add a smaller hard drive and use it as the boot drive. The larger drive will just be for files, downloads, etc. ...
Power cut? Not sure. You mean a surge protector?
Sure, but I shut down the PC normally before cutting power. Besides, I wasn't even running Windows, and it got messed up too.
I've had my PC for just over a week and it's been great. But Friday I reformatted the hard drive and re-installed Windows and Linux. I did this because I wanted to allocate my partitions more...
Suggestion:
Boot from a Linux live cd. If everything works okay, then you know it's not a hardware problem. Could just be Windows doing what it does best.
