Alright I just finished building my friends pc and it seems like it has no end to problems with it, All components are new but I sold him my old motherboard and ram for cheap the parts are here (

The first day I set it up it was all fine, left it at his place, without stress testing( forgot my laptop at home and only had one usb drive) and I drove home. the next day he said it wouldn't work, I looked into it and his pc was stuck on the motherboard bios screen, it wouldn't boot to windows, it acted as though windows wasn't even installed, we marked it up to a bad sata cable corrupting the data as it passed back and forth and we replaced the sata cable, reinstalled windows, the drivers, and this time I stress tested the system and everything looked good. the next day it was acting up again and he was unable to use his mouse and keyboard, they were bugging out and he just couldn't use them, we were somehow able to get a full virus scan to run and got rid of the culprits. the next day his windows is busted and when he turns it on it goes to the windows repair screen. I am thinking it is just a bad hard drive but want some more knowledgeable input. my friend is super pissed because he is new to computers and doesn't understand that things don't always work the first time and I would really like to get this solved quickly so he isn't put off by pc gaming. thank you in advance everyone!
