Hello everyone.
Over the past couple of months my pc has been experiencing some rather strange behavior upon booting. Sometimes it boots normally, but most of the times it does not.
It usually boots to the "a disc read error occurred press ctrl alt del to restart" at which a handful of restarts later, it boots. Sometimes it stays on, "loading Operating system' for a couple minutes before booting. And, sometimes Windows boots after all of the above happens, only to initially load to an all black screen for a minute or 2 before the desktop actually shows up.
I have never seen anything like this before. Thinking that it may have been a hard drive issue, I bought a new SSD as a boot drive and threw a fresh copy of Windows 7 on it, but the problem still occurs. Both hard drives appear to be functioning just fine... I flashed the BIOS to the newest version, loaded optimized defaults as well as checked the boot order. Nothing.
Any and all input on this would be much appreciated. Thanks.
