You could try updating windows to the latest version using windows update

Viruses and malware could actually cause a computer to crash or shutoff. Even the outlet you are plugging it into. Try another outlet and see if it makes a difference

Another idea, follow this guide http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/186875-uefi-unified-extensible-firmware-interface-install-windows-7-a.html

To me, console wars with ps4 and Xbox are more arguemental than if you were part of the PC master race. Just my two cents.

As long as you have fun playing what you play, shouldn't think about what others think. That pc master race or console war thing is either trolling, a overblown joke, or something childish imo.

That should only be done as a last resort option. The other troubleshooting step I have for you is to remove your cmos battery (silver battery on motherboard) for about a few secs, put it back in and check that it boots fine (may have to reconfigure your previous bios settings) Here's a...

Have you tried formatting and installing to it? Do an easy install instead of custom If you could send a screenshot of every tab of your bios I can look into it for conflicting settings. It should've been working by now

Change it to IDE test that setting but, don't try raid, that's sure not to work If that doesn't work, change back to AHCI mode and check the boot order (do HDD first, CD drive second or CD first, HDD second)

Only way to test that gpu if it is still working is to try it into another PC Or, connect your monitor to your integrated graphics port to get into the bios and set the primary video adapter from pci to pci - e

No problem. Regards, -Reyaz

Alright, so leave the integrated sata setting enabled. In the part where it says AHCI, which other settings does it give you?(IDE, sata etc.)

Yes, this is called fragmentation. Files get clustered everywhere and it can be solved with a defragmenting program like defraggler. It is not ok to defrag an SSD but a hard drive itself is ok. Any clicking and grinding noises in a hard drive always leads to failures somewhere down the line...

Disable the integrated sata controller, try installing windows again and let me know if the error code is different

The time you still have has to be used for backing up your data and the others come later. Don't want it to fail while scanning it before you get a chance to back it up. At this point there is no need to scan it, since the telltale signs are 100% leading to hard drive failure. Hope that...

Oh ok. Sounds like your bios settings just need to be fixed. Read the step I posted regarding the bios and try it out Open your bios settings (when you power on your PC it will tell you which key to press to open it) Locate the hard drive controller settings and change it to SATA or AHCI...
