hey all,
so i thought my mb was blown because my computer kept rebooting all the time, so i did some investigation.
i found out that when i have my hard drive connected to my pc, it crashes. when i use my mom's newly formatted hdd my comp works fine. also, i have a removable drive that i keep another hard drive in. sometimes when that one is it my comp reboots randomly. has this ever happened to anyone here?
specs: AMD XP 1800+ MSI MBoard (don't know exact model) my hdds are both maxtors, my mom's is also a maxtor windows xp pro geforce 4 mx 440
