Hey guys, first time poster, long time viewer of the tech tips.
Ide like to think im pretty good with computers and pride myself with DIY, but theres always a moment where you just need to accept that you need help. Well...I need help... =(
I have a HTPC running on my old X2 4600+ with a 5450 and 4gb? of mushkin ram. The boot is a kingston v100. I never touch the machine other than to surf the web, splashtop, and watch videos on it.
One day it just started to BSOD and upon restarting, everytime, an error would pop saying a driver has failed. concurrently, catalyst drivers would also fail later in and coretemp just stops working/loading. its a viscious cycle of BSODs and errors. I just gave up and tried to format the drive. Now here is the weird part, usually formating a drive is as easy of right clicking and formatting it, but all methods of formatting i know have been futile. Disk Manager, cmd-Partdisk, and windows 7 installer all failed to format the SSD.
So...members of the community, do you have any ideas and/or advice you could give?
Thanks.
