Oddly though my PC recovered from this and I could continue playing the game and everything was fine after that.So normally I check event viewer to see what happened if anything and notice some disk errors I have never seen before. The driver detected a controller error on \Device\Harddisk7\DR23Now the really weird thing is I have no Hard disk 7 when I go i
