So I have a question, and I thought I would ask the smart folks here.

Now the first time I installed windows I did encounter an issue with my PSU dying out in the middle of the windows install.
I replaced the PSU and that's when I noticed the final install and usage was sluggish. Now my wife's computer is nowhere near being a power hog to effect performance.

I ran my PC diagnostic software, and noticed that her Ram Microtopology failed, Hrmm weird I thought since it was pretty much brand new Ram. So I replaced her Ram, placed it in both DIMM slots, and again it failed the Microtopology tests.

I'm now starting to think that when the PSU failed it effected her Motherboard.

Yupp Reinstalled windows, and it was still sluggish as heck. Now upon scanning My HDD its stating my Hard drive is failing aswell.

This was all brand new hardware too, maybe a month old before I gave it to the wife.
