Okay so I built a computer few months ago.. And everything was fine until a couple weeks ago... It will constantly freeze itself every like 10 seconds for a bit.. The response time of the mouse n links are slowed right down. And sometimes it'll completely freeze and then I'll get a blue screen of death... Haven't been able to take a photo of it so not sure which error message it is... Also sometimes when I power the pc on it will say disc read error press ctrl alt del and when I do this it reboots and then says reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key.. It's really annoying and I'm not sure what the cause is.. Thanks in advance

Sounds off hand as though your hard drive is beginning to fail. I would recommend backing up any important data and making a system image copy (if you don't have back up disks). The manufacturer of your hard drive has a program to test the status of your hard drive, I'd suggest going to their website, downloading and running that program and possibly looking into RMA'ing the hard drive (if also a few months old). The hard drive may be repairable by running the tool.
Hope it helps

Yep, SeaTools is one of those programs, ironically (IMO) I usually use SeaTools as an example, this time I didn't. Looking in the same direction but different angle - what is the make/model of your motherboard?
