Hey all! so system was running perfectly (custom pc, win 8, samsung pro ssd), just did a clean install, fresh drivers, etc. It was running great! ASUS Sabertooth p67 mobo, latest bios.
then out of the blue, mid game, i get a hard lock up stall. no blue screen but just lock up. shut down and when i reboot, bios didn't find my samsung ssd. unplugged my 2nd sata drive, booted again and now it found the samsung ssd however i got the "no disk found press ctl alt delete"
at this point i ran windows recovery console and did the bootrec fixboot, fixmbr, rebuildbcd, chkdsk party. everything said it was completed successfully
now when i boot however i am stuck in an auto repair loop and can never boot into windows 8.
i am thinking the crash is somewhat power supply and/or mobo related. new power supply is on the way and mobo being RMA'ed.
however, i still think this is a software situation and would love to fix it rather than do a full clean install
thanks!
