I have a PC in this office that keeps exhibiting weird behavior. Every few months it seems to lock up (while it was just running idle) and it will not wake up or warm boot. Upon giving it a cold boot the hard way it progresses to the windows blue screen stating "Unmountable Boot Volume"
What could consistently cause this in a machine? I have checked the disk for bad sectors multiple times and it comes back fine so I don't think the harddrive is having any trouble. Also, it seems the only thing that will fix the problem is a full reformat and clean install. Luckily this is not a critical machine and all it really does is run a presentation monitor and some basic software applications but no data is stored on it.
I'm at a loss, anyone know what might cause this recurring problem every 5-7 months?
