| 1271670 | 2012-04-24 08:51:00 | Hey all, built a computer for someone last week and it has repeatly given problems which I can only think must be either a hard drive issue or power issue. On about 25% of boots it first doesnt detect the hard drive, give it a reset and shes back and running. Other issue is waking up from sleep gives a windows did not shut down properly, enter safe mode, start normally etc. Seagate 1tb hard drive, enermax psu and windows 7 pro Any ideas? |

| 1271671 | 2012-04-24 08:56:00 | Whats the model of the hdd?? If its the ST31000528AS. Update its firmware, its up to CC49. I would read the manual and see if its on the right SATA port. Since, on some mobos, certain ports are for optical devices only. Whats the brand/model of the mobo? | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1271672 | 2012-04-24 09:04:00 | Hard drive is a ST1000DM003 Asus P8Z68 LE Definitely in right port, have tried a different previous to posting anyway |

| 1271674 | 2012-04-24 09:21:00 | No it's not cos I have nothing but trouble with it breaking windows installations in the past. I update manually as required | hueybot3000 (3646) | ||
| 1271675 | 2012-04-24 09:29:00 | No it's not cos I have nothing but trouble with it breaking windows installations in the past. I update manually as required Slightly drifting abit, but still on topic - If its only a week old, is it a NEW OEM OS ? Reason I'm asking is because its very very hard to buy a OEM DVD these days that doesn't have SP1 already installed. If its a new PC then it should also have a new OS. What does the event and reliability history logs say ? Do some basic trouble shooting / Also while not always done was the system actually "burnt in" or tested before the person received it after you built it ? Any computer have faulty parts from being built. |

The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly. Labelled "kernel-power" |

| 1271677 | 2012-04-24 09:39:00 | You may have a faulty component someplace -- may be a case of swapping out parts till its found,Or running a burn in test to push it to breaking point. BTW -- the piece you mentioned about the key -- tisk tisk -- thats illegal. |
