pknyo Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 Yesterday i was reinstalling two Seagate 500gb Hdd into a Gateway gm5632e desktop. It was originally setup in a Striped array. I had taken them out and used them in another PC to backup some data before i did a clean install of windows 7. When i put them back in I went into the bios and went into raid settings, I was going to set it back up again as two seperate disks. After I disabled raid the bios froze up I didn`t appear to be trying to restructur data or anything so after about 15 min I decided to restart the comp. Now nothing will boot and somtime it will start for about 2 sec and then shutdown. I`ve reset the cmos as well but nothing is working. Specs Note: the listed CPU is not correct I swapped a e4400 in there Any help is very appreciated especially since its a friends comp and I need to get it back to him very soon.

Try removing both drives(and cables) and then boot up, see what happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pknyo Posted August 27, 2009 Author Share Posted August 27, 2009 Thanks for the help man. After removing everything except 1 gig of memory I was able to get it to try to boot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
