Hello guys.
I've been having some problems with my new pc lately, as it keeps having random "partial " freeze's. It may happen during the boot process, and it may take over 5 min's to fully access win, or during whatever task i'm doing.
It goes like this : suddenly all app's get into " not responding mode " , but i'm still able to move the mouse around and open / close 1-2 windows before explore halts too. However music doesn't stop, thats wird.
The blinker that shows the hdd activity either shuts down completely or stays on continuosly, and i interpret that as a stuck hdd. It usually produces a fine clunking noise, once ot twice during the freeze.
These freezes usuallt last 1-5 minutes and then it comes back to normal.
I've been looking at the Event Viewer and there are some errors, including these
The driver detected a controller error on \Device\Harddisk1\DR1.
That indicates , to me, either a hdd or mb problem . Both are new.
I tried replugging the sata cord in all 4 sata ports on the mb, checked the drivers on the mb , checked the firmware and scanned the hdd for bad's, and everything looks good but with no success.
What do you think i should do next ? I don't see any other stuff to investigate. My 'bro says it may be the hdd and i should get it replaced, but i'm not entirely sure, i think it might be the mb .
Spec's : I5 4570, MB gigabyte ga-b85-d3h, 8gb ram, seagate barracuda 1 tb sata3 , sirtec element bronze PS, win 7 64bit OS.
