Hi, guys. I'm not very good with computers, i`m just recently learning, and i`m from Argentina, so excuses in advance if my english is bad, i' ll try to be as clear as possible.
Recently, my seven year old hard drive went bad, and i replaced it with a 1tb Seagate HDD. So, i connected the HDD, installed Windows and all my aplications just fine, and used my pc with no problems for a couple of days. Then, suddenly I began to notice a little stuttering, like freezes when the system was loading something. When i restarted the computer, it ran chkdsk automatically prior to Windows start , correcting a couple things and the PC worked fine for another couple of days.
But yesterday it began to do these little freezes again. I checked the event viewer and saw there was a lot of errors saying the system couldn't access data in the hard drive, cause the files were corrupted or damage. I ran both Malware Bytes and Avast to check for malware, with zero results. Then i downloaded the Seagate app for checking the HDD, and it reported no errors. So i format the HDD and do a clean WIndows Install. It runs fine for a couple hours, but then i started to notice the same errors being reported in the Event viewer. When i restart my computer, Windows won't start, sending me straight into the system restore screen, and saying it couldn`t restore anything. Ran a clean install of windows again, and a couple hours later the same problem:straight to the system restore screen.
I checked to see if the cables were correctly connected and it seemed fine to me. Could it be the Psu? Some of the cables gone bad? The sata port? My specs:
intel i5 3470 3.2 ghz
Asus p8h61-m lx3 r2.0
Topower Top 650w psu
