A strange pattern is developing recently with my motherboard. When I boot her up, on occassion, she will stall at the gigabyte boot image before proceeding to POST. I have the latest Bios update by the way. And at times, when POST is finished and it hands off to the OS (Windows 7 64), it takes a long time to get the the password screen. Not sure if it is related, but one of my drives might be showing signs of impending failure... This is not the drive in which my OS is installed to by the way. This drive has primarily all the applications. Other drives have my games and storage). On occassion, it will deny me saving a file to this particular hard drive, saying there is a problem or corrupt disk (or something to that effect). I have been required to run check disk on more than one occassion. A new hard drive is on it's way, but I wanted to touch base with the experts, here at Gigabyte support. Any thoughts or recomendations would be appreciated.
