Hey everyone.
I'm not sure where to start. I've had this problem for over a year now and I don't know what to do.
It all started when I moved my hardware into a new case. It seemed to be a hard disk issue at first. My system would start stuttering (mouse would be a bit spazzy on movement, sound would have pops and keyboard keystrokes would either stay "pressed" too long or not register). After this I'd get a blue screen with Windows saying something went wrong, it's gathering info and will restart.
After that it would just stay stuck there. If i rebooted the machine manually sometimes it would boot ok but others it would be something along the lines of "please wait checking disk for errors" and then it would never boot into windows again.
I've changed my original hard drive at first with a used SSD and it kept doing the same only this time it presented another symptom: the drive would inexplicably be filling up on GB even though I didn't download anything or install anything for a long time. Between 5min refreshes of the drive it would show around 5GB of data spontaneously appearing until the drive was completely full and then the previous issue I mentioned would occur.
If I was quick and rebooted the pc as soon as the stuttering started, it would then boot normally and would have no issues at first. After doing that for a while though I started noticing stuff like certain drivers not installing properly. I had a disk image made with Windows 8.1 that I would always restore but I've done fresh installs as well and the problem was always the same.
I was pretty sure it was the disk since my first one was a few years old and the second one was used so I bought a brand new one. After I installed windows I set the updates, drivers etc and then turned it off overnight to test in the morning (the usual test i do is I leave it playing music for like 10min on a fresh boot. Fresh boot is when the machine has been off for a few hours, like overnight.) and what happened was this: it got stuck, tried gathering its info in order to reboot but got stuck at 55% so I rebooted manually and now it works ok but I fear this will happen again and I need help from someone way more experienced.
My system specs are as follow:
CPU: i7 950 @3.07ghz
Motherboard: Asus ROG Rampage III Gene
Ram: 12gb (Corsair but i forget Mhz and model) 6x2gb
GPU: EVGA nVidia GTX680 2gb
HDD1: OCZ Arc 100 120gb
HDD1: WD 1TB (again I forget the very specifics)
If there's anything else I can provide that would help you help me figure this out just let me know.
Many thanks in advance!
