Maybe somebody on this forum can help me better than the tech/warranty support team.
I have an HP- Desktop PC w/ Intel Core2 Quad
I can't start my computer, Please help.
On boot I get an error telling me I have an imminent hard disk failure and to backup immediately. f10 setup, f2 continue.
When I continue i get one of 2 options
-- If I continue normally, I get to my login screen and as soon as I try and type my password, the computer freezes
-- If I continue in safe mode it loads the drivers and ALWAYS hangs at
--> Loading... ... ahcix64s.sys
I've searched that driver and everything points to an AMD system...
My warranty service is about to come replace my hard drive and call it good. However, I think there might be more to it and possibly a temporary fix to at least boot up and secure another backup.
PS This is my 2nd Hard Drive replacement in 2 weeks. The first drive lasted a year or so and began failing so they replaced it with this "Certified New" drive. Was working fine for approx 2 weeks and now I'm in a loop and can't get into my system.
Any suggestions out there?
Thank You,
Mike
