Hey guys. I've been in the process of building, and maintaining, my computer for a year now. And it seems like at every turn I get more and more problems. I originally built my computer with:
msi-fm2-a75ma-e35
Corsair cx430
2-4gb corsair vengeance blue ddr3
500gb western digital caviar blue
And an amd a10 5800k
Running on windows 8/ 8.1with the free update
It worked perfectly for gaming, less graphic capabilities then I wanted, but nothing less then I expected from it.
Then later down the road my 500gb hdd got roughly 390gb used, and it would run very very slow. I turned on task manager and saw that all the time even from boot the disk space would read 100%. So, I formatted it. That would've been the end of it if I hadn't updated to 8.1, so my windows key wouldn't work. Trying to do everthing I could to get it to work, I accidentally un-partitioned the drive. So I waited until my 160 gb hard drive came in. When it did I tried to use them both at the same time, 500 as a back up, drivers and os on the 160 gb western digital caviar blue. It booted fine. But after drivers were installed it rebooted and left me with an error message saying it couldn't repair the computer. I tried to repair it without partitioning this hdd, but without a system recovery disk it wouldn't allow me to do anything. Then my motherboard shorted out leaving me unable to even open bios, so I ordered a new ecs a85f2-a. When I installed everything (even my new Radeon r7 240) on it, and replaced it, and only used the 160gb on it, it let me reinstall Windows. It booted up, and everything was fine. I only downloaded and played one game, because I didn't want to use to much space. I didn't update to 8.1, because I don't have a flash drive for a recovery disk yet. I was planning to get one today. But I woke up and my computer was on, but there was nothing being displayed. I shut it down last night before I went to bed, but it never turned off. So I turned it off with the hard button, and let it cool. I went back to it at 11:30am and booted it up did some updates, then saw it was doing the same thing with 100% disk space. I tried to shut it down, so I could try to reinstall the 500gb and go to wd website and partition it with their drivers, but it wouldn't turn off. I used the hard button again. When I installed the 500gb the loading screen for Windows ran for 15 minutes. So I restarted it and now nothing will show up on screen through my motherboard, or my graphics card. I unplugged the 500 trying to salvage the mess, but same thing happend. I can't even see anything to try to format, and restart. what's wrong? can anyone help me? I'm really sick of all these problems. I would be able to order a terabyte hard drive, but what good would it do me if I can't see the screen? And how do I fix this crappy 100% disk space junk? Any help would be appreciated.
