rh535 Posted March 14, 2010 Posted March 14, 2010 Last week my PSU went out and my computer shut off. I swapped out the PSU and a HD which supposedly had shown S.M.A.R.T errors(Not my OS drive). i took out all the drives and only had my OS drive installed. After getting past the bios screen it just shows a blinking dash in the upper left corner. I have Windows 7 x64 ... Any ideas on how to fix this without reinstalling Windows 7? Thanks Asus P5W DH Deluxe WD Caviar Black 1TB - SATA Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
