Last night my Windows 10 PC started freezing while running videos. I guessed that this was a sign that my Seagate hard drive had problems. I only bought it a few months ago to replace my older HDD, but it had been making the same clicking noises that my old HDD was making before it stopped working.
So today, while my PC was still working, I backed up all my data and ordered a new HDD.
Then I tested a game (Mirrors Edge) and my PC went into BSOD, attempting repairs, checking the disk, but just going into a loop of restarting.
I kept getting a CRITICAL PROCESS DIED error.
At one point, the PC restarted into a weird grey screen with criss-crossing lines across it.
After that I find that I cannot get into Safe Mode, and my mouse and keyboard don’t work. All I can do is press the restart button and shut it down.
Is this more than a hard drive issue? Motherboard failure? CPU?
Any ideas how to fix it would also be appreciated.
I’m running Windows 10 Home edition 64 bit
Motherboard: Asus M5A78L-M USB3
CPU: AMD FX 4350 quad core processor, 4200 Mhz
GPU: AMD Radeon R7 200 series
It’s an old computer (except for the HDD), so I won’t be surprised if it’s not just the HDD that’s had it.
