    It's been a while since I've bought anything hardware related (years in fact) other than a superb 256gb M4 SSD a few months back, but my PC now seems to have keeled over.

    It just hangs, often wont shift from the splash screen (see below)

    When I can get it to go into bios this screen comes up in basic cmos settings:

    Which is interesting, see the weird characters in the top left of the screen and a definite lack of hard drive on channel 0 - not normal!!

    I've taken the cmos battery out and reloaded previous stable versions of bios, but the best I can now manage is

    What's the verdict? Shot? Which bit is broken? Should I buy a new system?? :duh:

    Cheers in advance! :thumb:

    Connect the hard drive to the same channel as the plextor and see if it detects the hard drive, if not I'm guessing dead drive.
