OK here goes a little novel of my problem.
ON last Monday my Windows 7 failed and was not recoverable, it would sit at "starting windows" and not move even after 8 hours at work!
So I decided to install it again, I got windows 7 installed again and it booted fine for about 3 or 4 times and then did the same thing, I decided to give windows XP a try, the first 3 times to install the install screen for windows XP said something like "Unable to detect Hard disk..." and was not able to install (the hard disk in question is a WD 1.5TB SATA Drive) I turned the computer off for a few minutes and then tried again, now I have windows XP installed, But every time i change From one thing to another, say from nero to vlc, or between tabs Windows take a very long time, some times it takes a few (5-6) second to change between tabs, and to open up system information it takes between 5-12 seconds.
NOW when I go to install windows 7 it takes about 8 hours (another work day) to get to "Expanding files ... (12)"!
SO the BIOS said there was an issue with my C drive installing Windows XP and Windows 7 wont install under 8 hours!
SMART for the drive and WD own tool said the drive was fine, whats wrong with my computer.
Im thinking the HDD maybe dodgy or the Motherboard.
PS// I have tried 4 different Disks on windows XP and Windows 7
Specs:
AMD Phenom II 550 unlocked to 4 cores and OC to 3.8GHz (tried it at 2 coes and stock speed and still the issue occours)
MA785GMT3-2dha Motherboard
6 GB DDR3 RAM
1.5 TB HDD
2 TB HDD
24 inch monitor
Saphire 5750 Video Card
KB, mouse, speakers...
