I just finished my first build in February:
-CPU - Intel Core i5-3570K 3.4GHz Quad-Core
-CPU Cooler - Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing
-Motherboard - Asus P8Z77-V LK ATX LGA1155
-RAM - Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3-1600
-Storage - Crucial M4 256GB 2.5" SSD, Seagae Barracuda 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM
-Video Card - EVGA GeForce GTX 650 1GB
-Case - NZXT Phantom (White) ATX Full Tower
-Power Supply - Corsair 750W ATX12V/EPS12V
-Optical Drive - LG UH12NS29 Blu-Ray Reader, DVD/CD Writer
-OS - Windows 7 Home Premium SP1
Everything has been working great on the system up until the other day. I walked into my office and noticed that the machine was shutting down, powering up for 5 seconds (not enough time for the monitor to detect) and then shutting down again. This cycle kept repeating until I unplugged the machine.
I read somewhere that the RAM could be causing the issue, so I tried removed the 4gb stick in the second slot and then put the 4GB stick from the 4th slot into the second slot. The machine booted up fine, so it appeared that the RAM was damaged.
Everything was then working fine (other than the damaged RAM stick) until yesterday. I went to go pull up a document that I had saved on the Seagate HDD, which was there the other day, and all of a sudden the Seagate HDD is no longer available. It is not being recognized in Disk Management or in BIOS. I tried switching the cables from the SSD, and it is still not recognized. It is not recognized in Seatools either.
I was going to RMA it, but I wanted to check here first to see if there could be another underlying issue, as I find it odd that the RAM AND the HDD both failed around the same time.
Any advice? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
