Hi guys ive been lerking on the forums for quite some time and ive learned a lot but now i have a problem with my one month old homebuilt computer and i need to rely on you
Computer specs:
case: roswell line-m micro-atx mini tower computer case
motherboard: msi fm2-a75ma-e35
Psu: corsair cx series cx500
cpu:amd athlon x4 750k trinity 3.5 ghz
ram: corsair vengeance 8 gb 240 pin ddr3 1600
harddrive: western digital black wd1002faex 1tb 7200 rpm
gpu: gigabite gv-r927xoc 2gd radeon r9 270x 2gb 256 bit
optical drive - lite-on dvd burner - bulk 24x dvd+r 8x dvd+ rw 12x
operating system- microsoft windows home premium sp1 64 bit
The computer went together fine and worked perfectly for a month, up untill the day before yesterday. I shut down the computer properly after a long gaming session. The next time It was powered on it got stuck at the starting windows screen for over an hour. I spent the next ten hours trouble shooting trying everything i possibly could
(the computer was running about 20x slower than normal the whole time)untill finally i gave in and did a clean install of windows 7 after the install which took a conserable amount of time i finnally managed to get it to boot to desktop it takes about 5 minutes to open a page and about 20 min to boot
for referance it took about 35 secs to boot before the problems started
did a windows memory diagnostics test it said there were no problems detected
the hard drive activiity light has been on constantly since the problems started and i havnt been able to hear the hard drive seeking either
why did my brand new computer die overnight ?(its been plugged into a surge protector and has had virus protection since day one) what should i do? If any of you have any imput at all it would be much appreciated please help me. i think the hard drive may be the issue but thats just a guess
