j-sta: No, I precisely can't boot into Windows Repair...or rather I can, but unfortunately it won't see the drive at all. There in lies the rub! :/ As for the controller, can't seem to tell from looking at the BIOS (Phoenix TrustedCore 1.00.04). I have some options to change the settings...

On a side note, I just found an old copy of Hitachi DFT (Drive Fitness Tools). It sees the drive fine. I ran the Quick test and it ran fine, but the "Advanced" test seems to just pause (indefinitely?) while doing the media scan at a certain LBA. It starts scanning, then gets to one point, and...

Keenan: What do you mean what mode the controller is in? And where can I find those drivers?...I see about a dozen places online that appear to list drivers for that Intel controller, but there seems to be a bunch of variations, and I'm not 100% sure which I have. I'd be more than happy to put...

More information / long version: For those that are curious for a bit more info.: - The stop code given was: 0x000000ED (0x862539A0, 0xC000000E, 0x00000000) - The computer is a laptop and the hard drive is a 160Gb SATA drive. (Seagate Momentus ST9160823AS) - Since when I try to turn on the...

I am having some major trouble with my laptop and would be very appreciative of an help that anyone could provide! Short Version: Randomly the other day on booting, my laptop blue-screened with the following error: UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME I'm running Vista (32) and most of what I've read has...

If the graphics stop displaying after like 10 seconds (if even post at all, now), how? :) Thanks!

processor: AMD64 3500+ memory: 1Gb Corsair CMX512-3200C2PT motherboard: DFI LANPARTY UT nF4 Ultra-D graphics card: Connect3D x850 XT PE PSU: PC Power & Cooling Turbo-Cool 510 Deluxe HD: Maxtor MaxLine III 250 Hmm...and how would I figure out if it's the RAM?...and would RAM...

I don't unfortunately. But like I said, I was able to swap out the graphics card in the same machine for another and was basically having the same problems. Really?....the PSU?...wouldn't have figured that...hmm.

So, I have a hunch I might have to replace my motherboard in my water-cooled computer. As this is the first major modification I will have to make to it since I put it together, I am not 100% sure exactly what this is going to entail. 1) In all reality, there's no real chance I can leave the...

My system recently has begun having problems, and I would greatly appreciate any and all help folks could offer. Basically, I've been running my system without issue since I made it about a year and a half ago or so. Then suddenly, the other day it seemed to freeze while I was away from it...

Hmm... Well, I've been most likely having to move my graphics card to the other slot anyway...I wonder what the would mean...hm.
