So every morning when i startup my comp i get an boot load failure, and have to go into the bios and load defaults and restart.. I save the changes and everything is good. The next morning i start it up again and the same message pops up saying boot failure.
Any idea what can cause this? Could it be the bios drivers im running?

Yes, replace battery. They are cheap. Even though I never had to replace a battery in all the rigs Ive ever built.

That probably means your boot sector is fucked up. Pop in a Windows CD, go into the recovery console and run "chkdsk /r" - with a bit of luck, that fixes it Smile

Did you break your hdd ? Or are the boot priorities borked ?

If you can, connect the hdd to another PC (with an external usb adapter/case)

No its not broken. Worked fine yesterday, untill i decided to fix some cabeling inside the case and now it wont boot.
I was thinking of connecting it though my laptop with the external sata and grab whatever is important on it and format it from scratch, something i want to avoid
