I will be on my computer doing normal things, and it will just freeze. I got a new graphics card, new mother bored, new CPU, and a new hard drive. I tried plugging it in into different outlets to see if that was the problem, I ran virus programs and other testing software. I had windows 7 before but the people who built the computer for me put windows 10 on the new hard drive because I wanted it and said it would be better to add it fresh. They ran tests to see if it was my Windows 10 messing it up and said their tests showed no bugs or errors. I had steam and a few other programs on my older hard drives and I would run them from my older drives and I am not sure if that is the problem or not. I do not know what else to try to resolve this problem. Please help, thank you.

My Specs:
CPU- Intel Core i7 4790 @ 3.60GHz
Haswell 22nm Technology

RAM-16.0GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 800MHz

MotherBoard-MSI Z97S SLI Krait Edition (MS-7922) (SOCKET 0)

Graphics- ASUS VS228 (1920x1080@60Hz)
4095MB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 (EVGA)

Storage-1863GB TOSHIBA HDWD120 (SATA)
931GB Western Digital WDC WD10EZEX-00BN5A0 (SATA)
1863GB Seagate ST2000DM001-1CH164 (SATA)

Power Supply- XFX XTR Series P1-550B-BEFX 550W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS GOLD Certified Full Modular Active PFC

Hi there Tacodude,

HDDs could make screeching sounds. It may be a good ide to back up the data stored on the drive until you sort this out.

So you have changed SATA ports right? It may be a good idea to attach the drive with different power and SATA cables as well.
Have you tested the drive? Here are some tools that you can use: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/282651-32-best-diagnostic-testing-utility

In case the tests results show that the drive is in a healthy state, you need to open up the computer case and try to locate where exactly the sound comes from.

Let us know how this goes,
