Hi everyone
My main language it's not english so tell me if you don't understand something.
I have some problems with a PC that I got. Here is the problem:
I first want to be sure that my Power Supply is the adequate for the entire Rig.
So I have a XFX 550W Power Supply for an Intel Core i7-3770 3.4GHz, a Geforce GTX 650 Ti Boost also a Seagate Barracuda ST31000340NS 1TB 7200 RPM SATA Hard Drive and 8Gb RAM.
The reason I need to know this it's because sometimes the Hard Drive hangs, I mean, it stops working, the screen freezes and then I have to restart the PC using the power button. So I believe that if the Power Supply can't satisfy the power demand by these components it could lead the Hard Drive to stop working. (I'm not an expert, it's just a thought).
Another and most probably reason is that the Hard Drive it's malfunctioning, because it sounds horrible, like if it were scratching something. Knowing that it should even sound at all.
So I need to know, It's the Power Supply not enough for the RIG? or I have a damaged Hard Drive?
Any more information, Just tell me.
I need help as soon as possible.
Thank You Beforehand.
