    Hi,
    I now have got this three times once before and now two times after installing Ubuntu. The fix though is in bios. For some reason my 480GB Mushkin SSD drops to last on the boot order. Putting it first, or at least in front of the 750GB, fixes the boot problem. I should note on the two boots where there was an issue with Ubuntu installed, the system booted bypassing Grub going right to windows and the error.

    I suspect the SSD freezes or errors and the bios on reinitializing the drive places it to last in boot order. I post this so others with the gamer systems and SSD's do not constantly have to go through the troubleshooting I did..............
