    Question Internal HDD keeps randomly appearing and disappearing ?

    Considering the m.2 has not been affected nor has anything else to my knowledge Im not too sure. I also was thinking that an external hard drive or ssd might be safer but if not i guess we will have to replace the PSU

    Question Internal HDD keeps randomly appearing and disappearing ?

    The version of the BIOS is American Megatrends Inc. 9014, 20/12/2016... Im guessing that means the bios needs to be updated? I've figured out how to but I dont want to update it if it is up to date already
