Hi guys, so I have what I think is a minor (but very annoying) issue with my computer, everything is perfectly fine for a while after I start the computer, but suddenly out of nowhere (and this happens every time) I cannot access the hard drive or any components within "computer, it is searching for computer, libraries and homegroup. and external hard drives and dvd-rom are also gone- and I cannot access control panel when this happens either. however logging of resolves the issue, temporarily at least.

The computer was recently upgraded, except HDD and graphics card. I am no computer expert but I suspect it's the HDD. However after re-logging in it works again?
