My specs:
Motherboard: Gigabyte 990FXA-UD3
Graphics Card: Nvidia Geforce GTX 770
SSD w/ OS: 128gb OCZ Vertex
I also have a 2 TB HDD for storage and most games
Power Supply: Diablotek PSDA600

I built my own pc, worked fine for 8 months. My issue started out as freezing when playing games with more intense graphics. The computer would freeze, cut all sound, but remain on, lights and everything. I recently had a power outtage that might have affected my PC but am unsure. My temps were fine, voltage seemed good, so i went and formatted my SSD and reinstalled windows. The problem persisted, so i used my friend's GTX 760 and my PC worked just fine, but his PC also worked just fine with my card. I thought perhaps it was a strange power supply issue, but i kept using his card until i was certain.

Then, after installing Vuze, it froze after start up, so i restarted and got a black screen after "loading operating system". It persisted, so i tried to format it again but the windows install disk wouldnt pick up my SSD (but did pick up the HDD) and was running very slow. Now, when i boot to the install disk it gets to the Starting Windows screen and stays there forever.

Any ideas? I am in unfamiliar water.
