Ok, so I built my friend a PC last summer, and a few problems with it arose since then.
The first thing she told me about was a camera problem.
When the PC is booted, and she plugs her Sony camera into it to download pics from it, it works fine. But the SECOND time she tries to do it...she presses the "power" button on the camera, then windows sits for 2 seconds...and then it begins to make the "ba-bing" sound to tell you that it picked up the new hardware...only that it only plays the "ba" part, and then the PC resets.
I tried updating her BIOS and drivers (she has an 8RDA+), but it did nothing.
Naturally, i tried to disable ACPI, but when I did, the PC would reboot just as it began to load windows.
I checked her power rails, and everything seems within reason.
I won't have hands on access to the machine for a week, but I can VNC into it in the meantime. I'm dying for suggestions here.
