Have you looked up that STOP code? That's your first port of call.

In all honesty, I can't really understand what you're trying to say here.

And now I have bots trying to hijack my thread.

What? No bots have posted in this thread.

As I said, look up the STOP code for your PC. Also I'm guessing you can't boot from your second HDD as your OS is probably on the primary, if not we could diagnose via P.O.S.T which would confirm a screwed HDD at least.

Can you access data on the second drive?
