i7 2600
8gb
DH67cl
500 GB HDD
GTX 980
500 w OCZ
GPU temp was around 38, i didnt manage to download soft to check CPU temp with. PSU is recent (2 YEARS). HDD is old mb even 8 years and is making strange noises. In last 12 hours it shut down and start up like 2 times. Now it happens every few minutes. It did the same even in safe mode and while attempting to reset bios settings. And now after windows logo it started checking for consistency of HDD but cant get it done cuz of constant restarting. I even tried system restore ( it shut down at the very start thank god for that cuz i googled what would happened if it did later on). I realize that 500W is cutting it close but was working since august no problem.
So i wanna ask u guys if u agree with me that i should be getting new HDD. I already found one WD Blue 1 Tb ( SATA 3). And one more question does sata cables work for all sata ? i mean sata 1,sata2,sata 3? Or should i be getting new cable also? Or does it come with HDD? sorry for stupid questions
Edit: I mean the noises were there for ever a year but now its really strange noise mixed in there)
Edit2: I forgot that i managed to check event log before and it said critical event. ID 41 - kernel power or something(unfortunately i cant make screenshots of details now)
Edit3: just now i tried starting it up. consistency test ran thru and i managed to log in into profile but then it shut down and started up again. Mb its not HDD after all?
