pc has taken to saying it can't find something at boot about every 3 or more boots

[TonyB]

oh the joys of beeing a windows user LOL so about every other reboot or so it stops with a blue screen with your system needs repaired , and something about it can't find something it needs at boot. same thing i can turn pc off and reboot just find, any ideas on what to look for in what it can't find i have no clue. Nothing has been removed from the system at all. I went in as i remembered i changed the boot order the other day, so i went in and loaded bios defaults. Now the dumb MSI full screen splash screen back i hate that and can't remember how to remove it as its ugly as heck. Any ideas on how to find out what the system is looking for??.

Additional info all i did was upgrade my video card from a old gtx 760ti to this gtx 970 reference card. and oh and changed the boot order a while back to boot from a cd other then that nothing. the other thread i had was different it just was a repair boot loop now its this very wired i ran pc tools diagnostics and mainboard checks ok, gtx 970 checks a ok all test fine.

Exact message your pc needs to be repaired a required device isn't connected

it will boots fine from a cold boot just not from a restart of system on every other boot or so.

also here are some diagnostics i did with my diagnostics stuff.

These are test i did over a period of time from 9am to 1 pm everything passes i have a post over at tenforums but they want me to use there tools so posting here as it obvious nothing is wrong with my stuff , this is a professional program, they wanted me to use furmark which last time i used that it killed a video card, they wanted me to use there hard drive tool which i couldn't even get to work. so i used my own program i bought and paid for clear accurate results, any help appreciated on what it could be, a note i did reset my bios and i have not seen it for a while, i did also run these commands over there for a forum guy .
1) Open administrative command prompt and type or copy and paste:
2) sfc /scannow
3) dism /online /cleanup-image /scanhealth
4) dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth
5) sfc /scannow
6) chkdsk /scan
7) wmic recoveros set autoreboot = false
8) wmic recoveros set DebugInfoType = 7
9) wmic recoveros get autoreboot
10) wmic recoveros get DebugInfoType
11) bcdedit /enum {badmemory}

all the test came out passed, i think other stuff is to do with setting up bsod logs so i was told. thanks for any help you all can give and god bless.

also i do have some log files they had me collect if anyone would like me to post them up here let me know there zip files not really sure what's in them to be honest.

In my experience this has always been caused by Windows not being able to access the hard drive. Usually it is the drive starting to die, but sometimes it can be the cable going bad or the port on the motherboard.

should i go maybe try a new cable ?

there is random restart errors them were on a day i was not home and the power was beeing worked on my bad for not turning off my computer lol

SATA cable replacement time. Had the same issue with the same solution in one of my other desktops

 

[TonyB]

awesome guys now just tracking down a totally straight sata cable at my local stores

closed thread over at tenforums night and day at least a suggestion here instead of mass redundant testing there, i appreciate there help but it was crazy.

 

[newtekie1]

Also, make sure your SATA ports are in ahci mode and not ATA mode.

Though changing this option can actually cause this problem the first time you boot after changing it, but Windows usually detect the problem and boots fine the second boot.

where do i find that in the Bios ??

 

[eidairaman1]

Read your motherboard manual
