adventures in computer hardware failure-land, volume 23

I'm doing my thing last night happy as a clam. All of a sudden I hear some noise from my case. My screen dims. My heart stops...but only for a second. A reboot later and BIOS reveals NO storage drives found ! Hmmm.....

I go to my local guy who does a great job fixing computers at a good price. He remembers me from 2 years ago, when my problem was, in his words, " the clusterfuck of the year". He was absolutely right about that.

Two hours later, the RAID card is replaced with this one . I guess I can't complain about 3.5 years of service from the old card.

Nirvana has returned.
