Hi,
I've made my custom computer around two years back, and it's been perfect. I haven't been using it for the last 2 months, and now it gives me a BSOD after 20 minutes of turning it on. I tried formatting, installing new drivers, switching ram, installing windows on the second hard drive(which worked somehow, but it takes around 2 minutes with a black screen to boot it up). So I don't think it is a proper solution to my problem. Or it just gives me a "status 0xc000000f info: the boot selection failed because a required device is inaccessible.
 
What do you mean by second hard drive?

Seems like there's something with your motherboard. Either the SATA port or the entire motherboard is going bad. However, you should also do chkdisk and other disk checking tools. Check its S.M.A.R.T rating. And also, check for corruption.

I had my windows installed on a ssd with a hdd connected to it, I took out the ssd and installed my windows on the 500gb hard drive, which worked, but not really since it took a long time to boot up (it did not turn off thought).(I ran the chkdsk on both and nothing was wrong with any of them)
