Hello again,
I built my friend a PC and got the next parts:
-R9 280X
-AMD FX-8320
-ASUS M5A97 EVO R2.0
-WD 1Tb Green 7200
-XFX Pro Core 550W
-Crucial 8Gb 1333mhz
Windows 7 Ultimate x64
Anyway, I built the thing, put on windows and then he said It soon after started freezing. So, I came over and ran Memtest for cca. 6hours, multiple passes, no problems, then i noticed the HDD led actin' weird... The thing is, even when writing/reading something from the Hard drive the light is sometimes still off. Sometimes (when testing the HDD, installing windows ect.) the LED CONSTANTLY shines, then when when I'm browsing the internet or downloading League of legends to his PC (HE PLAYS IT, NOT ME!!) the light is abnormal... Either blinking fast, or just being off completely with rare blinks for a milisecond. When this starts it usually freezes and the light: OFF Completely. I changed the SATA cable, power cable, changed sata ports, ect. nothing works. It never lasted more than 1 hour of not freezing. After that 1 hour the time intervals of freezing are anywhere between 10min to 30min after logon.
Here's the catch: When Im running WD Diagnostics tool it can run the test 6 hours great, LED always on. It passed both extended and quick test twice. NO errors. Trying to rule out the CPU/GPU, I played a 15min match of singleplayer LOL (the only game he had), and it ran great.
Windows 7 installation also ran really good, no freezing, ect...
He then told me these problems happened AFTER updating windows. So, i COMPLETELY reinstalled windows and it ran good for about 1 1/2 hours and then crashed again, while watching youtube.
All motherboard drivers are installed.
If you need more info, ask, but really... I've tried everything... I have NO IDEA what the heck it could be...
Thanks.
