I currently have a pc with 2 hard drives( a 250 gb ssd with win 10 and a 1 tb hdd) and a rtx 580 oc graphics card.
In December, thanks to Christmas sales, I was able to afford a new graphics card for my pc. As someone who only knows very little details on computer hardware, I had to go to the technician who built the PC in the first place. (My old graphics card was late 2000s). Before the installation of the new graphics card, I used to have the ssd as my windows drive and the hdd as the drive for everything else. Since the installation however, I started having various issues with the pc (my pc blue screening often, the pc not even booting, etc). Looking online I got solutions that seem to suggest reformatting and starting over. When I did that, a new set issues popped up. While the pc now switches on without any issues and no longer blue screens, the hdd keeps giving me disk write error. I fully reformatted it again but disk write errors kept coming back. There were also issues where programs would no longer be considered installed despite not a single file having been touched. I went back to the technician and he told me my hdd was too old and charged me money for a new one. The problem came back. Went back, and he charged me for new SATA cables. Been 2 weeks now and I still keep having Windows tell me every 2-5 minutes “New D drive detected”. I am not going back to him as I don’t want to pay for something that doesn’t fix the problem. Unfortunately at the time of writing, I am outside of the house and cannot provide more details. As soon as I get home, I’ll be able too but I would like to know what to do to give the info needed. Also CHKDSK kept trying to fix the drive with nothing changing. I’ll post the log I gave the tech before changing the cables.
