Hey all!
I am having some issues with my PC.
The computer has been acting a little strange lately, when I am playing games on it e.g. World of Warcraft and Company of Heroes 2, the computer would alt tab me out with a message that my computer is running slow would I like to switch to windows basic. I just ignored it and kept playing.
The other day when I was playing Company of Heroes 2 the computer blue screened:
Once it had restarted I received this message:
About 1-5 mins later the computer blue screened again. This time after it restarted and was booting up I received this:
The strange thing is if the computer restarted or I restarted it using the button it would go right back to this error. BUT if I held the power button down and then powered the computer back up it would just say windows was shut down wrong and then enter windows normally.
Shortly after I would get back into windows the computer would lock again, and I would be back to the boot error. I tried to run a start-up repair via the windows CD but it fail, BUT if I powered down the computer, booted straight to the CD and ran the repair it worked the first few times and would reboot into windows and lock again.
I assumed the hard drive was dying so I thought I would attempt a reformat on the drive to see if the files were corrupt but the drive was fine. When I tried to format it I got this error:
For now I have unplugged the drive from the computer, I installed windows onto my 2nd hard drive and started to install all the things I needed again. The computer is running slower the usual the 2nd hard drive is a normal hard drive and the one in question is a solid state, so that could be why it seems a bit slower, but whilst installing the programs again sometimes things would fail and I would have to install again and it happened a few times so I am suspicious
I am still not 100% sure if the problem is only with the hard drive or if something else has caused it to fail. I thought maybe the power supply I ran a 10 min OCCT test and it seemed ok (although I don’t know exactly what I am looking at) but it didn’t crash or error and the graphs seemed ok.
I don’t want to replace the hard drive just to find that the new one then dies because I have diagnosed incorrectly. Could someone that knows how to work these things out be able to help me narrow down what is happening/happened?
I appreciate any advice on this and will give any info needed to help.
PS: Sorry for the massive post.
