The times i filmed errors were the exact time these errors happen

610487 2007-11-11 07:36:00 Are you using a SATA / molex adapter for the hdd?

Or are the SATA power connectors on the PSU??

If you're using the adapters for a molex connector, they CAN come out pretty easily.

610488 2007-11-11 07:38:00 no idea... how would i tell without takin the case off?

610489 2007-11-11 07:39:00 You cant. Ring the shop or whoever put it together.

Ask them, if the PSU has SATA connectors on it.

Sounds like its going into standby or something if the LED flickers.

610490 2007-11-11 07:40:00 actually i think it is sata connectors liljase (13018)
610491 2007-11-11 07:43:00 Have u been putting it into standby mode??

I would say its a standby/hibernation prob.

Are the video drivers that are installed the latest drivers?

610492 2007-11-11 07:45:00 do you mean when i dont use my comp for 20 mins and the screen turns off? liljase (13018)
610493 2007-11-11 07:49:00 Dont think thats the same thing as hibernation.

Thats when the screensaver comes up.

Is Vista up to date? WHERE did u get the videocard drivers from?

610494 2007-11-11 07:51:00 vista is up to date, and latest nvidia drivers... i think this may be a harddrive issue liljase (13018)
