Hi there,
I've had my computer for about a year now:
MSI 970A-G45 MOBO
AMD Phenom II X4 955
Radeon HD 6770
GSkill 2x 4GB, 2x 2GB (DDR3-1600 9-9-9-24 1.5V)
Edit: *Corsair CX430*
A little over a month ago I installed a second 1TB HDD which is when I started having problems.
The drive had been formatted and I'd been using it for about a week when I got a disk read error.
I did startup repair to fix it (Fix MBR) and didn't have problems for a few days. I was able to transfer all of my files to the other drive and not lose any data.
Then I got the disk read error again+BSOD's and higher temps than usual (about 60C). I upgraded the stock heat sink fan on my CPU at this point and reinstalled windows 7. This was fine for a while, with good temps. Both drives were readable and writable with no problems.
Two or three weeks later (now) I was able to boot into windows (took longer than usual), but after a few minutes the system hung and I really couldn't do anything. I restarted and got another disk error and more BSOD's. Before the BSOD though I got a message saying that overclock settings weren't good. I've been running with default [auto] settings since the problems started, after fidgeting with lower CPU voltages.
Today the CPU temp was around 50C which is higher than usual. I'm a bit of a noob and my roommate has run out of ideas (he helped me build, it's my first).
Are there any suggestions for things I may try? Any help is much appreciated. I can give more details if I missed something.
