I do not know if it's my motherboard, hard drive or power supply causing the problem.
I get stuttering when running games and sometimes simply browsing web pages.
It's quite rare but I have been getting cases where everything stops and an almost 16bit game music (not actual music just a way to describe the sound) comes through headphones before the computer restarts, it's happened twice but will no doubt get more frequent similar problems to this were my HDD in the past.
My motherboard is somewhat "broken" in the sense that I can't open the BIOS anymore, I never played with them or altered any settings but while looking for solutions I had to look there for some information but only the first "line" of the screen loads saying "UEFI BIOs Utility" then it's essentially crashed, (I have had a few powercuts while the PC is running, this could apparently be why? the term "bricked" was used when looking for help in the past)
My power supply is quite old, It and the motherboard are the only 2 original parts of the PC so I am also wondering if it is possible that it's simply the old supply struggling to sufficiently power everything 100%.
CPU: AMD A10-6000K APU with Radeon(tm) HD Graphics 4.10GHz
GPU: nVidia Titan Black
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-F2A85XM-HD3
Power Supply: CoreXstream - Model: OCZCSX500W
OS: Windows 7 64bit
RAM: 16GB
I have a new HDD to install but I do not want to use it if my current one is still alright, If anyone could help actually narrow down what could be wrong so I could replace the right part instead of soloing with my uneducated guess work it would be better on my wallet.
(Another thought I have is that I installed the Titan black, perhaps the power supply is not quite good enough for that? All the default connectors worked and fit with it and I have been running it fine for about 18 months, these problems are in the last 3 or so month and currently not /too/ common)
Not sure if it was clear or not from what I have said here, my only knowledge with computer components is complete 100% trial and error guess work on my part, I "built" my computer through youtube videos telling me step by step how to install the pieces properly and was only able to reconnect all the power supply properly because i memorized where all the connections went before i removed them, I do not understand why they went there at all, so any replies will likely need to keep in mind I am very basic, I know what the parts are called and what they do little more.
