So i changed my case and everything has mostly worked good exept my harddrive is SO SLOW. If i turn the computer on its constantly on 100% load. Writing about 3m/s. I know it was faster before. I took a picture of how i plugged it in. Any help would be nice!

What's your setup (i.e. what are the parts in your computer)?

Did you accidentally plug the drive into a SATAII/I port instead of a SATA III/II port? Who knows...

Well, im not sure what kind of sata port im ment to use and what i used. It worked fine before i changed case. I diddnt change anything else so specs is the same:

GTX660(OEM) 3gb
I73770k @ 3,4ghz
12gb ram
Unknown motherboard (Seriusly, searching the model name yields nothing)
Anything more you need to know?

CG8250_CG8350

All it yields is a computer, but the specs is not the same as mine. I cannot find my computer on the asus site.

It was called (The computer i own, not the ones on the asus site) CG8250_NR001S

It helps knowing what equipment you're working with.

Without knowing anything it's hard to go anywhere. All I can suggest is try plugging the hard drive into different SATA ports on the motherboard.

I can try that but not untill a hour or two. So you are sure the problem is with the power?
Beacuse it still DOES work. Just SUPER slow.

Not the power coming from the PSU, but the data connection that communicates between the motherboard and the hard drive, in other words, the SATA cable. Take the end of the SATA cable that's plugged into the motherboard and try plugging it into the other available SATA ports.

And I have to reiterate that it helps knowing what equipment we're working with.

Just think about it this way: if you went into a doctor's office and told him you've been coughing and nothing else, the possible diseases you have range from run-of-the-mill cold to cancer. So the more information the better.

It was working fine before you transferred cases? Did you put all the connections back to the way they were before the swap? Did you change anything during the swap? Is this is a prebuilt computer or custom built?

Its a prebuilt. Everything is mostly the same. I tried putting everything to the same place again. Only mayor difference is i have 4 fans instead of one now. And it was working just fine before i did transfer. Sorry if i am sounding a bit harsh i had almost no sleep yesterday.

EDIT: do you want a full CPU-Z report on my specs?
NVM; I forgot i cant acess my pc atm

ALSO: IMPORTANT: If i run my pc while it is at this state, will i risk any damage to anything?

THIRD EDIT: If it helps my new case is a "Cosmos SE" and the HDD i THINK from what i can remember whas a Toshiba SATA HDD

Update, it seems to work by itself after a littler while, a couple of minuts. I guess it was some kind of de-fragging
