So a few days ago, I left my home for 4 days. I returned home yesterday, and booted up my computer. It felt a little less responsive than usual, but everything was working.
I was browsing around on my hard drive, when suddenly, it just froze when I tried to open a folder. I simply restarted the computer, but this time, the HDD didn't show. The computer froze shortly after, and I shut it down.
When I restarted again, the computer wouldn't move past the windows logo, and when I left it there for a while, the screen just went blank. I read around on some forums that my HDD apparently is corrupt. So I took out the HDD, leaving the disk reader and my default boot disk (SSD) in the case. Upon starting, a text prompt showed, saying that no boot disk could be found, despite the HDD not containing the windows files, and that is supposedly the corrupt one.
Using the windows installation disk, I can get to the "repair" screen, but no drives show.
What happens now, is that without the HDD, the computer says there's no boot drive, and with the HDD, it stops at the windows logo.
I'm stuck. Anyone have any ideas?
Specs:
SSD - Kingston 120gb
HDD - WD Blue 1TB
CPU - Amd Athlon 760k
GPU - GTX 780ti
PSU - Corsair CX600
Mobo - Some Asus board.
I'm going to be rebuilding my computer soon, with some new parts. I suppose if both my drives are corrupt, I'll just buy two new ones. I'd rather not though.
Thanks
