Hi, I just finished building my first homebuilt and I'm running into hardware problems and so fare I haven't been able to find help anywhere.
I've been able to boot up, install Windows 7 Ultimate and use the system, however after a day or so the system becomes unstable. First, the computer begins to stall whenever I access a hard drive. When I try to reboot I get hangs during POST.
If it boots (and sometimes it doesn't ever) windows won't be able to see the bluetooth adapter on my motherboard. Sometimes I won't be able to access my SATA devices aside from the boot disk as well.
I've previously looked for help on Reddit/buildapc (did not receive a response) but it does have a lot more info about my build, symptoms, and things I've tried to fix/diagnose the problem.
As I said, this is my first build so I'm not sure what I can do. Any help would mean a ton to me.
