I'm not sure if this is related to my hard drive or not, but every once and a while, my pc won't start properly after it's been turned off.

The most recent time was last weekend. I shut off my computer friday morning, and returned home sunday evening to turn it on. When I turned it on, the bios posted normally, my drive was recognized, I could hear it seek for a second or so, and then nothing. It just hung. It didn't even make it to the winxp loading screen.

I booted from my winxp cd, and did the restore option. It took me to a DOS prompt, and then I rebooted. This time, the system booted into windows, but then a blue screen came up with some errors that I didn't write down :( and I had to reboot again. It's been working fine since then.

It's happened about 4 or 5 times in the last 6 months. It's annoying. I usually have to re-format to fix it.

Any suggestions? specs in sig.
 
eventually, yes. It usually starts as the machine just hanging on the first boot after it's shut down.
 
Seen this on a couple other Gigabyte mobo systems, although I don't know how to fix it. Figure it's the reason.
 
try to create that issue agian to get the BSOD, only way we can have something to work with.

update all drivers as well.
 
Just for giggles, run memtest on your RAM, I've seen this before.

Luck
