Fixed! but Y did it happen?

hi guys

you all know that feeling when you see that blue screen!

it happened to me 20 minutes ago!

Earlier i moved my pc across the room!

then when i was playing a game.. S.W.O.N. it started stop/starting like lag

And I could hear a quiet beep as the HDD led lit up..every 4-6 seconds
(This bit has happened before)

So i shut my system down and checked the cables, ribbons, ect

When I started it up again it started to load up windows then went blue!

Error report was "un-mountable boot device" I used recovery mode THANKS for that sticky

Typed "fixboot" and this remounted my C:\ drive SORTED.

Question is why the hell did it happen?

for my part; I think you must have loosened a cable when you moved the box or possibly scratched the HDD (in which case your "move" was more of a "chuck")! run scndisk\chkdisk to search for corrupt files!

i'll have you know i wrap my baby in cottom wool......"chunk"...HUH!

chkdsk did deleet a file!! it went too quick for me to read it though

what about a bad install of that game? would that cause it?

that "quiet beep" thing has happened before the game was installed last week!
