I just spent hours fixing what I thought was an NTLDR Error!
Instead of an error, my pc's bios mved my SATA drive to the last on the "boot order" list... I was at the point of trying to erase my drive and start over loosing all of my data... Im glad I didn't make a rash decision.
Any idea as to why my bios would randomly change the boot order of my hard drives?

My wife was trying to play the sims2 and the computer keep rebooting about 5min into the game. This happened three times... do you think that may have been the problem, because if so I need to find out why that game she plays all the time keep causing the pc to reboot.

It sounds like it might be over-heating, do you play any other games on that PC? If those work(ed) normally with no reboots, then I dunno. Burn a peace offering of various electronics to appease the computer, I guess.
You might not have an adequate power supply. How many drives are you running? And do you have a power hungry video card? Ive had my bios change before because my GPU was drawing too much energy.

Im thinking it may be overheating because today was the first muggy day and this happened. She has logged many of hours playing that particular game in the past with the same exact setup (drives and video card) so I guess we will try again tomorrow.

It's also possible that several "unplanned" reboots could have changed a little of the MBR code on the drive and caused the BIOS to reassign it based on what it reported to the BIOS.
