Hey Guys!
I have a really strange story to share, and don't know what have cause it :S
So, today i started up the computer, played some games, then quit the game (Guild Wars 2) and left my computer on. After an hour or so i returned, and wanted to start up GW2, however, it froze. Opened task manager and wanted to close the game but it took minutes to close. Then started again, froze again. My first instict was to check the files, but could not open the folder on my hard drive. Then the whole thing froze, so i started a shutdown, but could not finish, minutes after, it still said shuting down on the screen. Then i hard-reset the computer, but it stoped on windows startup. The strange part is, the windows runs from an SSD, but the games are on an HDD, so i thought maybe i busted the HDD (but then why it could not boot from the SSD?), so i unpluged the HDD from my computer, and it could boot. Then i gave it an other shot, pluged the HDD back in, and this time it ran a chkdsk for the HDD before boot (i believe no problem was found), and then it all booted up. I have all my files, disk utilities finds no error in neither drives, and it works.
Sorry for the long story, but it is really strange, why couldn't the computer boot up because of a potentially bad HDD? And how come this have no sign in any HDD utility/SMART data, also what do you think, which drive might have caused it? Maybe both died the same time?
