Hi guys, I have a brand new system, everything is less than 3 months old, everything works just fine. Except...
New Asus P8Z77 V mobo, i5, GTX680.
My HDD, or lack thereof I should say.
My SSD(vertex 4) works fine, is plugged into a SATA 6GBs header on the mobo, all good.
My HDD on the other hand is brand new.WD 1TB Blue. Upon entering disk mangement and selecting to format it, it starts, but after 5 mins, my pc freezes. Totally. No Alt-ctrl-del, no task manger, nothing.
This happens everytime. This is my 3rd HDD that has given me problems, and havent actuzally had a working HDD in my pc since i built it. Everything is on my puny 128GB SSD.
Why, when trying to format my new HDD does it freeze my pc?
Thanks in advance for your wise words.
