My pc would not boot up, I have made no software or hardware changes.
The bios or fdisk would not recognise the drive and I could not hear the hard drive starting up.
I borrowed my fathers PC for testing. My fathers PC will also not recognise my hard drive and again I can not hear the hard drive spinning.
I thought I would test my fathers hard drive in my pc. The pc booted up but halfway through starting windows (I did get the windows start up splash screen for about 10 - 15 seconds) I got a blue screen.
The blue screen said it found a problem with my PC and would shut down the PC to prevent damage. It told me if I had added new software or hardware I should remove it to see if that solves the problem. As I have said previously I have made no changes to my pc.
What coud cause my hard drive to die? Is it possible to short out a hard drive?
My bios reports no errors and I have tried reseting defaults.
Why when I add my fathers hard drive to my pc it stops halfway through booting up and gives me the blue screen saying it has found a fault? (If I put my fathers hard drive back in his pc it works ok).
My bios recognises the CPU, memory, cpu fan, dvd drive etc and reports no errors.
