I've been having problems lately with my rig which has worked fine for a few monthes and now runs slow and blue screens at start up at times. Thinking its some nasty virus I formatted my drive. When installing windows 7 it would not recognize any hard drive until several tries later. When finally installed the performance informaion rates my hard drive at a 3.7. Everything else is between 7.3 and 7.7. I switched sata ports and nothing changed. I would think its just my hard disk but Windows fails to fully recognize my video card as well. When trying to install drivers for it it says I don't have the necessary hardware. It displays nohing of my vid card in device manager. If both my hdd and video card are acting up, is that possibly the motherboard. How likely is it that those two things to go bad at once. It first started when I moved my rig. I powered it off and unplugged it. I'm always creful when working on it. I can't find anything visually wrong with connections etc. Sorry for the long post but, the more info the better. This is my first rig and may be unfamiliar with things that would be obvious to others. Any help would be appreciated.
