So I bought a computer ( self-assembled ) a few months back. No problems until a week or 2 ago.
Problem:
While gaming on a secondary HDD installed game, game shuts down after a while and says "stopped working". When I restart the game it says directory not found. And that happens with every program installed from that moment on that Secondary internal HDD. (happens to all games on the drive)
What is happening?
The secondary HDD actually disconnects ( while gaming ), that's why I can't open anything anymore, but the HDD is still showed on "My computer". However when I "RESTART" the computer, it's no longer shown into "my computer" or any other display that shows your HDD drives ( not in BIOS either ). So this time ( I have prove ) and I can see that it is not connected anymore... So the reason why my game crashes is because of the HDD disconnecting while gaming..
BUT
When this is happening and I "TURN OFF" the computer and turn it back "ON" ( so NOT restarting ) the secondary HDD is back again. Weird...
Actions
Already changed SATA cables and ports, my PSU is the G650M from CoolMaster and should be powerful enough :/
Is the HDD damaged? is it having a power problem? is it the MOBO?
Haven't formatted it yet and haven't yet tried it as an external Drive either. And this only happens while gaming...
PSU: G650M
HDD: WD blue 1 TB
WINDOWS 10
NVIDIA GTX970 4G
AMD FX8350
MOBO: ASUS 970 Aura pro Gaming
RAM: 8GB Corsair Vengeance
Suggestions?
Your time would be very appreciated, thanks in advance!
kind regards.
