-SORRY, but I'm not sure where this belongs. Please move the thread if it's misplaced, thanks.

Hello. On Sunday I've finally bought my long planned gaming PC. I bought it in parts and assembled it at home with ease.
The specs:
-Gigabyte B150M-D3H
-i5 6600K 3.5GHz
-Sapphire 7950 3GB
-Kingston HyperX Fury 1x8GB
-Kingston 120GB HyperX Fury SSD
-Western Digital Scorpio Black 7200RPM 1TB
-Arctic Freezer 13

The problems:
1) Sometimes, when I turn on my PC / restart it, it turns on but starts beeping non stop and a there's a black screen. I realise this has something to do with the CPU, but I find that hard to believe because everything is brand new. This also happens sometimes when I wake my computer from sleep.
Also, sometimes 2-3 seconds after I turn it on, it turns off and then on again, and a black screen shows up(no beeping this time) and I have to force restart it.

2) My Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit is installed on the C drive, which is on the SSD. The games, documents and everything else is on the D drive, which is on the WD.
Yesterday I've played GTA V and CS:GO just fine. Working just as expected, CPU and GPU don't go over 45 degrees celsius, and all is great.
Today, however, when I came home from work, I turned on my PC, beeping, restarted it and it went on. This time though, I couldn't launch Steam. And whenever I hovered on the Steam icon in the Start menu the computer froze and I had to relaunch the explorer process.
After 5 minutes of exploring, I found out that the problem presists on everything that is on the D drive (which is on WD). Whenever I hit My Computer and go to D driver, the computer freezer for like 30-60 seconds, and only then it openes up. This applies to every single folder or file in the D drive. Browsing in the D drive is extremely slow and long.

3) Whenever I shut down my PC from the Start Menu, it gets stuck on "Shutting Down..." and I have to forcely shut it down by holding the power button.

That's all I remember now. But I'm sure I forgot a few problems.
Anyway I'll be glad for any help, thanks in advance.

So...
Is everything fixed, or is there still a problem?

The first thing to try would be flashing the bios to the newest version. Most of the skylake chipsets where a bit rushed and have alot of bugs, but have fixes in the latest bios versions. If that doesnt resolve anything then we can go from there

Actualy this problem was solved after I booted in safe mode and browsed the D drive just fine. Then I restarted and browsed it without safe mode and it was fine.

No. Only problem #2 was fixed. #1 and #3 are still unsolved.

If you go to the motherboard manufacture site and find your model there should be a bios update in the download section for it. Put it on a flash drive boot into your bios and select the flashing option then select the file on the flash drive.

Alright I've updated my BIOS from F2 to F5. Unsure what it solved, though.
Problem #1 still happens sometimes.

I'm currently reinstalling windows 7 and all the drivers. I hope problem #2 won't come back.
