Hello Sir... Well I did as you suggested and no go.. You must be correct, it must the motherboard. I bought a new battery and it didn't help.. I put it in and started up.. IT moaned and groaned about date and time being set wrong.. I set it, looked and seen the hard disk and the dvd drive was detected, they were.. After setting the clock I rebooted and it did the same thing, media check failure etc, looked in the bios and the hard drive and dvd burner was not in there..

Well, what a morning.. Woke up, thought to myself...How much of my hair am I going to pull out today....haha Ok, I am going to go to the store now to buy a battery and check it out...

Hello wonderful Forums of Best Techie, I say wonderful because I was reading throw the forums and y'all seem so dang nice around here... I will introduce myself as a old man with thoughts of youthfulness in my mind... Here is my problem.. I have a MSI laptop, it is running windows 7, 4GB of ram, dual core AMD processor... I was getting hard disk errors and it was frequently shutting down. I took the drive out and tested it with a external encloser. Well it worked.. I took it out and put it back into the laptop and started up the laptop, it did not load windows or anything, said media failure.
