Motherboard - M5A78L-M LX PLUS
Ram - Kingston HyperX 8GB (1x8GB) 1600
CPU - AMD FX-4130
CPU Cooler - Stock one that came with CPU
No Video/Graphic Cards installed.
HDD - 500GB Seagate barracuda I had from my previous build

I installed Window 8.1 on this new build and I been having issues. I installed it and it was pretty fast on it's first boot except some apps were crashing. I looked it up and someone suggest re installing Windows 8.1. I did that but now my drive is having all kinds of issues, computing says that it needs to be repaired when booted up and such. Also, the pc was really slow after the first boot first time i installed it. I would like to know what is causing this. Is it the HDD?

Tried reformatting the drive again and installing windows 8.1 and still nothing. (Error code: 0xc0000098)

UPDATE: Installed Windows and it turned on, still very slow though. Can this be a software issue or maybe a hard drive issue. Should I get a ssd and install windows in it to speed it up?
