After thinking I rectified the issue on Wednesday, this problem has now reoccurred. I’ve done a little more reading and I’ve find out that one or more of the following may or may not resolve this issue.

- Ensuring the memory clockings are correct
- Adding a little more voltage to memory and CPU
- Clearing the CMOS

I thought I’d try doing one at a time, the first one may well be an issue as I’ve noticed my RAM is clocking in at 1067MHz (under ‘auto’ settings) on the BIOS whereas its intended speed is meant to be 1333Mhz. This has now been updated, and since this my machine has been running a little quicker.

There is also a possibility that my primary hard drive may be at the centre of this as I’ve already received a Windows 7 warning about bad sectors and I’ve had corruption on files such as winload.exe, ntsokrnl.exe and acpi.sys over the last few nights – all resulting in complete failure to boot.
