IP-35E Occasional DISK BOOT ERROR

[Professorblinks]

Every night my computer will instead of going into sleep mode will lock up. It will usually go into sleep mode just fine but it seems that about once every 24 hours it will just lock up. The computer will reset, shut down, and go into sleep mode by selection just fine it only happens when it goes into sleep mode through the Power Options.

When it is in sleep mode and locks up the fans do not stop spinning like uusal but the monitor signal is shut off normally. The computer will not awake whatsoever and the only way is to reset using the power button. When I try to power it back up it will not boot the first or second time it will just spin the video card fan 100% and no beeps, monitor signal, or I have no idea what causes this but it is very frustrating.keyboard lights. Does not respond at all to the power button even if it is held down. After resetting a few times using the PSU switch it will finally boot up.

When I boot up I end up getting the "SYSTEM BOOT ERROR. Insert another disk and try again" after the DMI. The hard disk is the only boot device I have enabled. What happens is that it will switch the SATA0(Primary Drive) with the SATA1(Storage Drive) drive boot order in the BIOS. When I swap them back to normal it will finally boot up just fine. I have tried changing every BIOS setting in the system and none of them makes a difference.

This is a daily error please help!

do you really mean safe mode?
if you do, why are you going into safe mode every day as that's generally only used when troubleshooting drivers etc.?

SORRY it is sleep mode.... I guess I was still asleep :/

Have you tried downgrading to a different BIOS? If not, there may be a problem with the motherboard. Try taking the CMOS battery out overnight and setting the mobo jumper to clear the CMOS. Do these things first...

OK so I came home to a BSOD. Tried resetting the computer and now it wont even post. Pulled all the memory out but one stick and still nothing. Tried clearing CMOS numerous times and nothing at all.

The keyboard will not have any lights on it once they all flash and then the video card will spin up to 100% and stay there. If I remove all of the memory it will still spin up the video card to 100% and do nothing. No video at all.

I am at a loss for this. I dont know what to do except sell the mobo for one that is not a complete piece of cr@p@(*@&##(
