So here the situtation when i turn on my computer, it boot up fine, everything is showing up properly but after a few hours into my computer like 2-3 hours of leaving it on It would freeze the screen and everything then eventually it would give me were something went wrong with your pc or something like that. I dont get enough time to read the error code because it instantly resets and when it does when booting up it shows no hard drive found. so im wondering what the issue i have yet to do any gaming yet this week and it was working fine my hard drive before i upgraded to windows 8 with windows 7 it was fine
 
Solution
MANY people had issues with the upgrade install, myself included. It was/is FULL of bugs. I would wipe it and do a fresh install of JUST Windows 8.

Hmm, sounds like your hard drive might be failing. Try downloading crystaldiskinfo link:http://portableapps.com/apps/utilities/crystaldiskinfo_portable And running it to check your hard drive health. Let me know what the results are. You may have to replace it. I would suggest backing up ALL of your important data on the hard drive to a thumb/flash drive ASAP! The hard drive could fail at any given moment at this point!

Could be the drivers, but he (or she) has a fresh installation of Windows 8 if you recall he or she upgraded to Windows 8 from 7, so it's a fresh installation.

For now the problem seem's not to be occurring as much as i updated windows 8 more but if it happens i will consider resetting windows 8, thanks for your input
