Hi, I've been having some problems lately. Let me start from the beggining.
2-3 weeks ago I bought an ASUS GTX 760 DCUII OC graphics card and put on my system. 2 hours after I put it on my system, my PSU broke down as apparently it was too weak to support it.
After I got a new PSU, my hard disk failed (i barely had it two years) so Western Digital sent me a new one for free.
And here comes the final issue. I have this 1TB WD hard disk since yesterday, and every time i try to install Windows 8, after a while the system just stops working, then restarts and for some reason says HARD DISK BOOT FAILED ERROR or something, and not even my BIOS can see it in there. I tried to install Windows from scratch and they didnt recognise any hard drives, so I reset my BIOS, plugged everything out and put it back in, used fail-safe and optimised defaults in the BIOS and the system finally recognised it.
As soon as it did, I reinstalled Windows but the same problem occured again, this time though I figured that just unplugging the SATA cable out and putting it back in solves the problem temporarily, which means that I can turn my computer back on for like 10-15 minutes and then it happens again.
Any ideas?
My system specs are:
AMD FX-8120 CPU
GIGABYTE GA-970A-D3 v1.1 MOTHERBOARD
8GB RAM DDR3
650W Corsair PSU
if you need exact models for the PSU, HDD just tell me so I can open my case and look it up.
Thanks in advance for your help
