Motherboard is dying?
Hi all
I have a problem and don’t know how to proceed.
Here is what was happening:
Running window 10, 2 ssd drives 1st one is just C and system reserve
2nd drive is divided into 3 D-E F
on E I store 2 Macrium images
I turned on my PC and it booted fine, as far as I could tell, I did my E-Mail and then clicked on IE. No problem, but when I clicked on a link, the system froze and then rebooted, but never got back to windows. It started, on its own, to do a repair and diagnose and at the end tells me it could not repair windows.
I tried all kinds of other options like booting into save mode and also go back to pervious OS it did not work.
So I got out my macrium CD and booted with that. I found my images and tried to restore 1 of them.
When I looked at the screen closer, I notice that macrium wanted to restore the image from the 2nd drive partition E to the 2nddrive and gave me a warning that the drive will be overridden. I stopped there. For some reason my first drive, c and windows reserved are missing. I looked at the bios setup and both drives are there.
Now when I want to boot, it is stuck on Verifying DMA data and will not move unless I boot from my DVD drive.
I think I either have a bad drive or a bad motherboard.
Is there a way to test if the MB is bad?
I am thinking of getting a new drive to find out if the oldone is bad.
Any advice?
