Hey guys, so I have a problem. My computer was freezing and I'd have to hold onto the power button to reset it. After a while my computer did it more frequently to a point where it would give me a black screen and a notice saying "Hark Disk Error" or something. I read that it could be a sata cable issue and so I just unplugged it and plugged it back in and it worked for a day or two and went back to the black screen. So initially I thought it was a hard drive problem, I decided to do an upgrade while I was at it and got a Kingston HyperX 3K 240gb and after a day or two, I finally got it up and running. Problem is that it gives me random BSOD.
Looked into it further and apparently my motherboard P8P67 Pro rev 2 was on recall about two years ago (I know, I know, I should've been more aware). I read that it was the SATA 3gb ports that were causing issues, so I moved all my hard drive ports to the SATA 6gb while leaving my DVD burner on SATA 3gb.
I don't really want to return my SSD but it would give me a BSOD every now and then, I would also get a BSOD if I defrag OTHER drives (read that you shouldn't defrag an SSD so I tried defragging my HDDs), I would also get a BSOD if I try to load music onto winamp.
So now I'm not sure if it's because it's my motherboard P8P67 that was on recall 2 years ago, this Kingston HyperX 3k SSD giving me BSOD or another hardware that's cutting me off. What do I do now? Where do I start? I'm at a lost.
PS: I no longer have the box or receipt for the motherboard so I don't have whatever number that I'd need to ask them to replace it.
