Is my motherboard breaking hard drives?

FranticGoatOfWar · Nov 8, 2013

My pc sometimes gets stuck at bios splash, and 3 of my hard drives broke today... Ram was only coming up as one stick :/ can a broken motherboard do this?(my cpu is amd fx 6300 overclocked to 4 ghz)

The same SATA controller probably controls all three hard drives. Did you test the hard drives in another PC?

no, i have no other pc to test them in

and they are making clicking sounds (they sound faulty in mechanics not software)

an oc can do that, if it interrupts how windows writes to drives.

13thmonkey :

I don't understand, you mean physically break the hard drives or just reset the bios to factory and the problem goes away?

they can corrupt the HDDs

my Hard drives are actually creaking, and i cannot reformat them and use them again.. They seem completely useless now.

wow. bad PSU is more likely with the sata cables being fed poor voltage.
