So, back when I upgraded the drive in my main computer to an ssd, I had these intermittent disk failure errors at boot. I was certain that I had a bad drive, but it has never actually died.

Over time, I've noticed that these errors only come when I turn on the display after I start the computer. Its completely consistent.

That has me wondering what could cause this. I'm using an HDMI connection between the computer and display (because the damned display won't give me a full screen image using VGA. Sony... go figure.) I suspect that the HDMI handshake with the display is failing and triggering this odd behavior.

Has anybody else run into something like this?
