Win 7 crashes, PC reboots and says "Hard drive 0 not found" until I turn if off and on again
- by Danny T.
I recently made the move from Windows XP to Windows 7. Since then, when my computer is on for a few hours it always ends up rebooting without warning. Then the BIOS won't recognize my hard drive (hard drive 0 not found).
If I turn off my computer and then on again, it boots normally.
Some details:
Dell Dimension 9150
Windows 7
I updated the BIOS
I updated all system drivers with the latest version from Dell (SATA, Chipset, etc.)
Other drivers updated too (Graphic card, sound, etc.)
There is one thing that I tried after some Googling: I turned off the DMA access to the drives, but it's still rebooting after a few hours.
Any clue?
UPDATE 2010/12/13
Here are the events from the Event Log for today, from when I turned the computer on until it crashed:
19:17 - Error - ID 10016 - DistributedCom
20:06 - Error - ID 1008 - Customer Improvement Program (could not send data to Microsoft)
21:48 - Critical - ID 41 - Kernel-Power (System was restarted without proper shutdown)
21:48 - Error - ID 6008 - EventLog (Previous system down was not planned)
21:48 - Error - ID 1101 - EventLog (Audit Event ignored)
21:49 - Error - ID 10016 - DistributedCom
Both DistributedCom events have a description along these lines (translated from French):
The authorisation parameters specific to the application are not allowing Local Execeution for the COM server application with the CLSID
{C97FCC79-E628-407D-AE68-A06AD6D8B4D1}
and the APPID

to the SID AUTHORITY NT\User System (S-1-5-18) from the address LocalHost (LRPC usage). This security authorisation can be changed with the Component service administration tool.
