Barashin April 24, 2013 Share Barashin Member April 24, 2013 (edited) So I picked up this PSU, Corsair and Modular as suggested: http://www.amazon.co...keywords=cx750m Works great too. Quiet. Wiring is super clean now. No random computer power offs (yet), but the story continues... So the Sandisk 64gb SSD I installed is still acting funky. I fresh installed Windows 7 on it; however, when the SSD is put as priority #1 in my BIOS, the system gives me a "Boot Disk Failure; Insert System Disk" message. However, if I put the SSD as priority #2 with my old HDD with windows 7 ahead of it as priority #1, I get the option to select one of the two iterations of Windows 7 when I boot the computer up. This actually allows me to boot up using the SSD's Windows 7 iteration. So is this a problem with the SSD itself or is something up with my BIOS settings? I have like 4 days left to swap the SSD from Micro Center, so any input is appreciated. Barashin Edited April 24, 2013 by Barashin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barashin April 24, 2013 Author Share Barashin Member April 24, 2013 SOLVED. Apparently the bootmanager was missing from the partition. I had to go to disk management and mark the SSD partition as active. Then I had to unplug all other HDDs and run the Windows 7 Repair Disc to fix the bootmanager. All seems good now. Now just to figure out why the SSD completely deleted itself a few weeks ago when the PSU gave out the computer shutdown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boiler April 24, 2013 Share boiler Member April 24, 2013 (edited) Glad you got it fixed! I learned a long time ago that the PSU is one of the key components you do NOT skimp on when building yourself. It's not as sexy as a smoking fast graphics card, but solid consistent power makes for happy components. Edited April 24, 2013 by boiler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barashin April 25, 2013 Author Share Barashin Member April 25, 2013 No kidding! I'm guessing a total power failure caused the SSD to wipe too. Otherwise, the SSD seems fine, so I'm just hanging on to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
