Guest C J. Posted September 5, 2007 Posted September 5, 2007 * * *Updated * * * Well - it went a few days before it pulled this S**T again this afternoon. I am stumped. Boot. ini looks unremarkable, Malware scan was clean. No viruses detected . However, I did go to a U.S.Govt webpage (twilight zone theme) Chkdsk /f fixed three more entries in the Journal. I'm wondering if this is an indication of power suppy failure, or the drive controller (on Motherboard) could be stuffed.
