Hi,
I recently bought a new hard drive because I was running out of disk space on old one.... The old hard drive has the os and all the files and it works fine... So I turned my computer off and plugged in the new hard drive.. ( the old is plugged in and it's my primary drive).. The computer loads up to the welcome screen, and then its just black screen with the mouse pointer on it.... I'm running windows 10(32 bit).... If I disconnect the new drive, the computer works just fine....

Update: Went to a friend's place and plugged in different components of my computer... The problem lies with the cpu or the motherboard... All the other parts seem to work fine.. Didn't test out the psu though... But even with the friend's one the error still persisted....
