Morning all,
Hoping someone can help/ confirm what I think.
S939 system, A8n SLI deluxe mobo, 3 hard drives, system files on a 74gb raptor, 2 x 300 gb storage drives, no raid.
Took the system apart the other day to dust it, and install eSata faceplate.
Put it back together, and Vista keeps freezing. This varies between freezing showing whatever I was doing at the time, or going to a light blue or black screen if screensaver has activated. Never did this before.
I'm using the crappy red SATA cables that the mobo came with. they're quite stiff, and to keep the case tidy, I have bend them a bit. My thought is that somehow I may have damaged one or more of them (the system drive cable?) which is causing this. My power supply is ample for my system, so it's not that. All fans are working. Drives still spin when system frozen.
I've ordered some new, longer, flexy sata cables, but does that sound plausible to anyone?
