I left my system on last nite. When I got up this morning, the system had
rebooted itself, then while starting up, the message" Disk boot
failure,insert system disk and press enter". I powered the machine down,
and all is well.
Why did this happen? The exact same thing happened like 2 or 3 other times.
Each time after i have left it on overnite.
P4 2.8 o/c to 3.15 ghz
Asus AT7max2 ver 2
GF4 4200 ABit Siluro video
WD 200 gig
Corsair XMS mem 512

Thanks for any help

is your unit on a UPS?
it could have shut down due to even a momentry power failure...

is your machine setup for automatic update?? It will reboot if you set it
for automatically download and update.

No, It's NOT on a UPS, and NO, It's not set up for auto updates.

You have it set to reboot on power failure? If the above is true,
then you are most likely getting power burps in the night which are
causing your machine to shutdown. Change the setting to "power off"
in bios. That way if you wake up and your machine is off, you know
why and you simply turn it on again.
