My pc was acting up and noticed northbridge temps on my evga x58 classified was 108c so i reapplied the tim.. Now my bios sees my mushkin 120gb ssd and when i press escape its in boot menu ahci-hdd0: p0-mknssdcr120gb but i get disk boot failure, insert system disk and press enter.

I originally had the ssd and 2 wd hard drives for storage in raid..If my storage drives are plugged in i can access raid menus with cntrl I, without the storage plugged in i cannot.

Using black ports ,
jmb362 sata controller is disabled
sata mode is ahci
hard disk priority is 1 ahci-hdd0: p0-mknssdcr120gb

Hard drives was perfectly fine before removing my northbridge

What do i do, the ssd was perfectly fine but im unable to get into raid menu with the ssd, it wont boot from it?

Windows 7 repair does not show my operating system so i have nothing to select, if i go to install windows it sees my mushkin in the format windows...

    I still dont know why this happened, i reformatted days ago hope there are no errors left
    Northbridge is now at 86-89c it was 108c.....This is the 3rd time i reapply the thermal, my northbridge was always very hot from when mobo was new...I also attatched a ram fan to make more air in that area...

    My problem was solved by gregrockers info, but I would like to know why it happened and was my northbridge temps causing recent system restarts and gpu driver crashes?

    Mark Windows 7 or it's 100mb System Reserved partition (preferred if you have it) Active, boot the Windows 7 DVD System Recovery Options or System Repair Disk, click through to Recovery Tools list to run Startup Repair up to 3 separate times with reboots.

    To Mark Partition Active press Shift F10 at first screen when booting DVD or Repair CD, or choose Command Line from Repair Console's Recov Tools list, type:

    DISKPART
    LIST DISK
    SELECT DISK 0 (confirm from list this is Windows 7 HD #)
    LIST PARTITION
    SELECT PARTITION # (replace # with Windows 7 part #)
    ACTIVE
    EXIT

    Now return to Recov Tools list to run Startup Repair - Run up to 3 Separate Times with reboots to write MBR to Windows 7.

    If this fails everything possible that can be done is here for Troubleshooting Windows 7 Failure to Start.
