Pc not working properly

[stoffrobert5]

My friend bought a gtx 1050 ti 1 weak ago, the first 2 days were fine but the 3rd day his pc didnt boot or when it did was running very bad. He thinks that the 8 gb 1333 mhz ram is the problem and its not enough ram for a GTX 1050 ti, however i think the problem is with the harddrive.
Pls help !

What are the rest of the system specs? I doubt it's the ram as 8gb's is enough and 1333mhz shouldn't slow that card too much as long as the stick of memory isn't dead.

An i7 860m? I'm not super familiar with the m variants of desktop CPU's, but that could be the issue. If my memory serves me right M variants are low power CPU's. But it does seem like it's the hard drive, or it could be a virus on the drive. Try and reinstall Windows if you can.
