Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
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:

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...
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...
