I got an additional HDD for christmas (used to have 1x 500 GB HDD and now I got 2x 500 GB HDD).
Problem is, that week after installing the new HDD in SATA mode, computer started freezing after running any aplication for 5 minutes.
When I restart PC (without cutting it off from electricity) it cannot boot, and it says "HARDDISC FAILURE" or "INSERT HARDDISC TO BOOT" or something like that.
I have to complety cut off the PC from electricity, if I want it to work again.
Sometimes it randomly works. But only ~2 out of 10 boots are crash-free.
For example, if Iam browsing internet for more than 5 minutes, it crashes. Same with games, steam, downloading World of Tanks, or even Microsoft office.
I tried re-installing Windows, since I heard rumours that Win8 has problem with power management on older motherboards.
Althrough I got around 10% FPS increase in ALL games when I switched from Win8 to Win7, it keeps crashing.
I also got additional RAM on christmas, used to have 4 GB now I got 8 GB.
Tried removing/adding and combining the RAMs and nothing changed.
Tried removing the old HDD, then the new HDD, nothing changed. Still crashing.
Tried completly removing both new RAMs and new HDD, still crashing.
Iam surprised it didnt crash while I was writing this.
Could this be a motherboard issue?
My current motherboard is quite old.
