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.
