Hello. It was gone, now it is there again. I am beginning to wonder what is happening with the hardware inside my computer case. I was doing some usual things on my PC and all of the sudden I have noticed some slowdowns. The CPU usage reached maximum. I had to reboot. After machine restart, there was no bootable drive detected. I went inside setup, there was no primary SATA drive installed. Tried for couple of times, nope. The drive was lost. I have just turned on the PC nicely, and waited for a while. The drive was there again on the next launch. How odd this is, and what does it means? Thanks in advance.

Greetings. This is not odd very much. This issue probably points on power supply or Sata cable problem. It happens sometimes that unexpected, greater than predicted, electricity wave flows trough the power sources and there you go. Maybe you should check the connection between your hard drive and the Serial ata on the motherboard. Maybe you should replace your S-ATA cable.
