I need help from people that know what they are doing!
I built this computer about 2 years ago, and actually, got the recommendations from these forums for what to purchase. I have two issues, but I want to address one that is more crucial at this time.
I produce music and game, and I was advised to update my drivers for my video card when I recently opened the gaming client. Now, I do not possess a video card, but I did need to update the BIOS for my mobo (MSI Z68A-GD55 G3) when I ran my dxdiag. So, I went onto MSI.com to download the client, which is Live Update 5. I ran the file and as expected, needed to restart my PC to complete update.
But I received a Disk Read Error! My BIOS menu is also messed up!
I contacted an MSI tech through a form(they have no phone number), and he advised me to try removing the CMOS battery, and placing it back in. I did that, no luck. I went to Walgreens to buy another Energizer C2302, placed it in, still no luck. I switched out the SATA cables to the HDs... still the DIsk Read Error. I even tried to boot from the CD and loaded the MSI drivers/utility disk - nothing works.
What do I do now?? How can this happen from a BIOS update??
My Rig:
* MSI Z68A-GD55 (G3) Mobo
* Intel Core i7-2600K
* C:\ OCZ Vertex 3 120GB SSD HD
* E:\ WD Caviar Green WD20EARX 2TB HD <CURRENTLY UNREADABLE >
* Corsair Dominator GT 8 GB (2x4GB) DDR3-2133MHz
* Power Supply: Cooler Master Silent Pro M 700W
* Pioneer BDR-206 Blu-Ray Burner
