Default Re: BSOD Spell?

Either a hard drive failure or a motherboard failure. The former is more probable. Have the computer been giving of any strange noises lately? When my hard drive died it was making a bunch of clicking sounds a few days before the crash. I was able to save much of the content because of the warning.

Try accessing the hard drive with another computer to check weather or not it works. Or just switch it over to another SATA port to make sure its not the port that is having trouble. If it really is a bad drive you might be able to backup files to a new computer this way.
