Running into a weird problem here with a new PC I built for my wife. I've tried two different hard drives so far and I keep getting read disk errors, the system is brand new minus the hard drives, which are about two years old and work fine my computer.
The read disk error doesn't occur every time, either. When the first one started happening all the time I swapped it with another one, that worked fine for a couple days and now the read disk error started to occur again. I went into the bios and noticed the default for SATA was set to IDE, I switched that to ACHI and also switched the sata 6gb cable from sata port 1 to port 2...
I'm not getting a read disk error now but I windows 8 tells me there is an error and it cannot load and i can restore it, but when I click restore it seems to freeze. I am trying other things right now before I have to do a fresh re-install..
I've tried windows 7 and 8 and as i said before both hard drives work fine in my rig so I'm starting to think perhaps there is a problem with the motherboard? If the problem continues should i return the motherboard? That would really be a pain in the butt to have to take apart the whole system so I want to exhaust all other options before I go that route.. Any suggestions? The motherboard is an asus P8H77-VLE
