Hey guy's I do'nt really know what catagory this falls under but...
I recently bought a dvd-rw drive and installed it as the only drive on my computer. I was having trouble with this prior to installation but it seemed to make it worse. My computer will shut off and every so often will just restart. It seems to do this only when i'm working on it. A few times it has brought up a missing/corrupted file system/config something and i'm forced to reinstall windows. I've tryed every different configuration with my cd/dvd drives and found no help. I've replace the serial cord from the mb to teh dvd drive also. I'm not really sure where to go next. I wonder if i have a stick of ram going bad or if my hard drive is going bad. also i have not flashed my bios in some time... cause i honestly havn't a clue how to do that. Anyway I'm a gamer and i can't seem to get it figured out. any help would be thankful. I'll check it consistantly so i will answer any questions u have for me.
