When i start my computer it goes through the POST showing my computer info after i see black screen with _ on the left top corner and it stays this way for about 10 seconds before loading into windows would you guys know what it could be
 
it is hdd first
hrm it's even more then 10 seconds it's like hdd doesn't get power for this time been hdd light is not flashing nothing is making sound or working.
 
Something is not right .. You have something being read as master when it is slave ... check everything from optical drives to your hd's.

good luck
 
Make sure your power/data cables are seated properly, and make sure you have your HDD's connected and jumpered properly. Hrm, also, you might want to dig around in the BIOS to see if anything looks out of place, like boot sequence/etc.
 
yeah i'v checked every thing i even try the other hdd still get this. hrm i'm out of ideas. i guess it could be some thing in BIOS that i am missing but i did a defaul setting still same
 
what is PSU (power supply ? i got 420w) ? i just got my self a 200gb-16mb maxter. but the thing is i tryed putting in another hdd and same thing.
edited: actually if i think of it now i don't think i had this problem when i was using old hdd however i do have this problem when i replace the old one with a new one.
 
yes PSU is a power supply.

Your PSU might not be good enough.

What other parts do you have ? Video card ? number of fans.? Make of your power supply?
How many amps is your power supply is rated @ on 12V
