Hard Drive Failure? Windows Not Found
I was using my PC as I normally do when the monitor suddenly turned itself off, and the keyboard froze up. I manually turned off the computer and PSU, and when I turned them back on I received the messages in this video:

I had received the fallback error once before when the last HD failed back in February. It is most likely the disk, but I wanted some second and third opinions.

Actually, BG-0, he did answer your question. He added his power supply make/model to his original post.

I saw that Clearly. Was just implying that he didn't answer yours

Any chance you could try using the drive in another computer? Does the error come up on every boot?
