My PC runs, well, used to run, 24x7, and one day when i came home after a thunderstorm I saw the message "No disk found"
Initially I assumed my hard disk had crashed, but they are working on another PC.
I have three options
i) Buy new motherboard, but a new LGA 1156 motherboard for my i5 760 is hard to find, costly and not worth it.
ii) buy new motherboard + processor, will cost me a lot though, I have started using my laptop now, I've realised I don't even need a powerful PC anymore expect for the occasional time I play FIFA with my friends, only during vacations.
iii) Considering trying out a SATA PCI card, it might just work, the motherboard seems to be fine otherwise, no abnormalities in BIOS or anything. In case it doesn't I will use it in my 2nd PC which has a Am1m motherboard and only 2 SATA Slots.
Anyone has any experience with them? Ebay has listed some of them for around Rs 500, cheap brands though.
