I just built my new PC for 300 bucks...

ASUS F1A55-M LX PLUS R2.0 motherboard
AMD A6-3600 APU
8GB Ripjaws 1600MHz DDR3 RAM
WD Caviar Blue 250GB 7200RPM HDD
Cougar RS 400W power supply

When I boot up my PC on a daily basis, usually it loads into Ubuntu (because my Dad didn't have a Windows drive at the time). Then it started booting into the command prompt or something and wouldn't load into the desktop. Now I get the Windows USB flash drive Dad got from work. Do it once. "An operating system wasn't detected. Reset and try again" or something like that. I reboot the computer and I get THIS screen:

Overclocking failed! Please enter Setup to re-configure your system
SATA3G_1: WDC WD2500AAKX-753CA1
S.M.A.R.T Status Bad, Backup and Replace

I overclocked from 2.1 to 2.5GHz when I first got the PC, and haven't overclocked since. I went from 4GB of Corsair memory to 8GB of Ripjaws memory from my old PC (which still works, it's just unusually loud), but even before this it was running into this issue.
