Well, last week, my computer decided to give up and not boot up. I got flustered, sent it to the pc repair shop down the road. Got it back yesterday, and it doesn't boot up once again. So went back down, they take me to the back, I see it booting up and he said some wires had become loose and it should be fine.
Well, I get it back, and it's a bit flakey in detecting the harddrive. Managed to boot up to a beautiful blue screen saying unmountable boot volume. So, I go to google, run chkdsk /r for 4 odd hours and manage to boot up fine. By that time it's one in the morning and i want to go to bed.
Now, try and boot it up this morning and everything runs for a couple of seconds and then just cuts out. The only way to turn it on again, is to turn it off and on at the mains, then try and boot up again. Sometimes it boots up but doesn't detect the harddrive, and once it boot up, loaded up a little bit of my desktop, then blue screened.
Sooo arghhh. Any solutions? I'm thinking the wire from the mains to the computer is faulty.
tl:dr - Can't detect hard drive in bios, any solutions?
