• 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.

Major Problem!

Ok, so I left my fully functioning computer a few minutes to get a bite from the fridge and I come back to a major error when I look back. I didn't see what happened, save for my computer window was in safe mode it looked like and I had a small popup saying that Windows recovered from a serious error and I needed to reboot.

I restarted it and I am getting an error message saying that NTLDR is missing and it prompts me to reboot. Anyone know what this message means?

well NTLDR is a boot file that is required for windows to boot.

It can mean a couple of things.

- Bad harddrive
- Corrupt partition/boot record
- Bad Windows install

Try booting into the recovery console and run fixboot and fixmbr

That *might* help.

Otherwise you might have to re-install/reformat.

You should also run a disc diagnostic program for your HD.
