My computer running windows 7 failed to load the OS the other day. I would just get the black screen with the flashing cursor. After trying everything I was unable to get it to boot and reinstalled Windows 7 on the same hard drive which I now don't trust too much.
I want to add a Samsung 840 EVO 250GB SSD and have my 1TB HDD be just for storage. I want to add a/some USB 3.0 ports. My problem is the motherboard only has 2 SATA ports which are both in use from my HDD & Bluray burner. I have an open PCI slot and a PCIe slot. Am I able to use either of those to help add a SSD that I will have my OS running on?
I ran AIDA32 to find out info on my motherboard but it says unknown.
