Computer Starting to Fail

Nuclear101

Honorable
Dear All, It has been six months since I have built my first gaming computer, and now windows is taking very long to start up, and most programs will crash once I start them. It was never like this before, windows started up within 30 seconds while I was using a seagate barracuda, but now it takes 3-4 minutes, also with random BSoD's and error messages eg. "Hard Drive Not Detected" or "Overclocking Failed" and it restarts. Can someone please help me? Any advice/help is appreciated. Nuclear101

Check the Sata cable on both the hard drive and the motherboard to make sure it hasn't come loose. Run check disk to see if you have any bad sectors, if you do then you have a fauly hard drive which you need to RMA.
