OS: Windows 7 Ultimate
PSU: Corsair GS500
CPU: AMD FX-6300
GPU: Radeon HD 7870
MoBo: AsRock 970
RAM: 8Gb G.skill Sniper
HDD(s): WD Caviar Blue 640GB, WD Caviar Green 2TB
So, I recently decided to build a new pc, upgrading all the parts, including the HDD. Everything went fine, parts worked, BIOS worked etc. After that the problems started.
I hooked up my old HDD to move some files to the new one, but, for some reason it now reboots every time it get's to the Windows logo screen. Before it reboots the blue screen flashes shortly: "A problem has been detected and Windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer".
I thought the problem would be in the new pc, but when I hooked it back to the old pc, in which it was working a few hours ago, i get the same scenario.
For some reason (which i now see to have been stupid), I decide to test it again with another pc running Vista. Well now Vista won't boot either...
When I try to re-install Windows 7 on the old HDD, it always installs 1% (Which takes it 20 min) and then says it's unable to install the rest of it.
I've never before had any problems with this particular HDD (WD Caviar Blue) until now. I figure it's a virus since every other HDD it has contact with get's the same problems. Windows won't install on the newer HDD, and i haven't tried it yet on the Vista.
I'm not in the mood of buying 3 new HDD's, 2 Windows 7 Ultimate's and 1Vista, so I hope someone here has an answer to my problem, and thank you in advance if you figure it out.
