Hi All
I bought a prebuilt PC last year and it has fatally crashed both the original HDD and a replacement HDD to the point where it will not find them to boot from!
Originally it had the following spec:
NVIDIA GTX 1050Ti 4GB GDDR5
Core i5-2400
DDR3 SDRAM
2TB Seagate Barracuda
Edit: I’m using Windows 10
After just 9 months with no problems I was playing Total War one evening and it suddenly started lagging badly so I turned it off.
Although screen turned off the computer was on for another 5 or 6 hours so I forced a shut down.
Next day it wouldn’t boot up and was telling me no bootable device was found.
I know very little about computers but have done a few things here and there so I thought the hard drive was faulty and so replaced it with a cheap hitachi 160gb just to see it I could make it work again.
It worked but fast forward a few months and it has crashed the hard drive in exactly the same way!!
Just keeps clicking and whirring for a few hours until inevitably I get the message: no bootable drive found.
It actually crashed a few weeks ago as well, but I was able to delete all files via a reset and that somehow fixed it?
So...
I actually have a 500gb HDD I was going to install at some point any way and hopefully that will be a temporary fix. However, obviously this computer has a problem!
Do any of you guys know what it might be?
Thanks for reading this.
