Hello all,
I recently built a system for a friend of mine and came across one of the strangest oddities I have ever seen.
The system:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1J5FagXrm7Y-LRw375YKjdkPGKmiP-HqNd4w23qscWhY/edit?usp=docslist_api
It's the AMD build.
Now once I installed everything in an older case, as requested by my friend, installed win 8.1 and everything ran smooth and fine. So I went to bring him the system the other day. On the way I picked up a sata DVD station and installed it at his place.
After booting the system, everything started getting so slow up to the point of freezing up. Sometimes it broke through but then after a minute or so, would run unbearably slow.
I couldn't understand and thought it was temp issues. But temps were fine. 36°C.
Then I unplugged the DVD station. Sata and power plug. Still no change.
So I took it back home and performed a clean install. Everything worked just fine again. Installed all drivers up to the latest again, no troubles. Then, as a request, I added in an old HDD. So again a second sata device. Booted ... Exactly the same troubles! Slow and freezes up. Seems not to be a gfx card issue, but rather a HDD issue. Like it doesn't want to read/write. I don't know. Anyway, unplugged the extra HDD, including power. Problem remains. And I think it will do so until next clean install of win8.1...
Any of you experienced this before?
Thanks!
