Hi guys, i have a problem (most likely with my HDD) and i will try to give as many details as i can.
My PC details are:
AMD A8-6600K 3.90GHz APU
MSI Radeon 390X Graphics card (Recently bought)
Gigabyte F2A68HM-HD2 Motherboard
16 GB Ram
Seagate 1TB Desktop HDD
Corsair CX750 750W Power Supply (Recently bought)
OS - Windows 10
Bought a PC a few months back it was working really well for the last few months, it didn't have a dedicated Graphics card so a few days ago i bought a graphics card and a new power supply as well. Installed them, everything was working great for 3 days. Played games on max graphics, Maximum temperatures were:
CPU 54C, GPU 80C, HDD 42C
and then this happened:
I was just browsing the internet when suddenly my computer froze. I could move the mouse, but soon i got the message saying windows is not responding. Everything i clicked on didn't respond. So i restarted the computer. I was using Windows 10, the computer went to the windows loading screen, the blue windows logo appeared (no dotted loading circle was there) it stayed like that for a minute and the loading circle appeared, i waited for around 30 minutes(yes, that long) until the loading finished and the screen went black like it usually would before the login screen. But it stayed like that forever, there was no mouse cursor, nothing. I went to the Repair Windows screen and used startup repair - it said 'Could not repair startup' or something like that. Then i tried the 'Reset this PC' function. It was stuck at 1% forever, never changed and i had to restart my computer again.
Tried to enter safe mode - did not work, it was frozen on the windows logo screen after selecting Safe Mode with Network.
Then i decided to reinstall my windows. During the installation the 'Copying windows files' stage was pretty fast, however 'Expanding files' stage was EXTREMELY slow. Took about 2 hours for it to finish. Then after that everything was really slow too. In the end the windows didn't load like i described above. Stayed on the loading screen for around 30 minutes, then went to a black screen and stayed like that forever.
I decided to install Windows 7 instead. Same story - 'Expanding files' stage was awfully slow, i left the computer overnight and found the computer at 'Type your username' screen. After i typed my username and clicked 'Next' it froze for a minute.. every next step took a minute to complete after clicking 'next'. After everything was completed, the windows did not load. It showed an empty Windows 7 screen.
Restarted, tried to go to safe mode with Windows 7. When the screen with 'Loading windows files' came up it loaded the files really slowly. Finally after like 20 minutes the screen went black and the mouse cursor appeared. And it stayed like that forever.
Now i went to startup repair and opened CMD. Running chkdsk /f /r right now, it's been an hour and a half and it's on stage 2 doing everything super slow. I don't think this will help.
Does anyone have any idea what is going on here?
I could buy a new hard drive tomorrow but i'm wondering if the problem is definitely in the hard drive.
I don't have another computer so i can't plug the hard drive into another computer to check if it's working.
