Background info of my system: I was given this system from a friend who was in the process of building his own. It is a Dell XPS 720 and from what I understand every part in it is the original except what I have replaced (linked below). Also, It is running Windows 7 ROG.
Hard Drive
Optical Drive
GPU
Problem: Occassionally whenever I boot the system up, it gets stuck after the Dell logo comes up and the bios load. When this happens, it fails to register the F1 when I press it to continue into Window, or F2 for the setup menu. So, I end up turning the computer off, and starting it up again. It a few repitions of this before it actually allows me into Windows, and if I go into the Setup menu or Bios menu, it seems to fail at registering my keyboard from there (I've tried 3 different keyboards at this). But each time I let it go on past the Dell logo I get the following message:
"Drive 1 not found: Serial ATA, SATA-1
Alert! Previous attempts at booting this system have failed at checkpoint [Bye]. "
Any ideas on what is causing this?
