Hello all,
First time asking for help on a forum. Bought a pre-built pc from newegg about 4 years ago. Mobo and processor died out(prob since i overclocked them) but thats not my problem. I now built a new computer with a new processor, motherboard, ram, and a liquid cooling system. I had kept my hard drive, power supply, and graphics card from my previous computer and used them for my new build.
My first build had windows 7 on it. I like windows 7 and for my new build i installed it right away. I had to format my hard drive because of the mobo change so when i was installing windows 7 this time it either got stuck right at the end, or got stuck somewhere else. I thought this was maybe the disk being dirty, etc. I installed windows 7 3 times and each time right after it booted it froze. First 2 times was with my cd, 3rd time i tried usb.
Now i had given up with windows 7 and tried installing windows 10. Windows 10 installed correctly but god help me my comp is freezing right after boot again. At Least with windows 10 i have a little time to open task manager and get a good idea of whats going on. Task manager indicated disk usage at 100%.??? I was very surprised to see this and after some research tried some methods to fix the problem. I can only imagine its the same problem i had on windows 7. So i disabled "Show me tips about windows", changed my advanced system settings for how many mb the hard drive is using(or something like that) and finally i just ran a full chkdsk. After 2 hours it said no error...
TO SIMPLIFY: My hard drive is running at 100% according to my task manager. I installed water cooling and have been checking my temps in bios and temps are fine so its not over heating. Ive tried windows 7 and right at boot my comp freezes. Ive tried windows 10 and like 2 min after boot my comp freezes. When in task manager my disk% says 100%. I have no idea how 100% of the disk is being used i dont understand that. My guess is my hard drive is trashed and i need a new one. Very unfortunate i just bought all new parts and now i need yet another one X.X. Please let me know what you guys think. Sorry for the super long explanation i didnt want to leave anything out. Thank you very much in advance.
