I have a custom built PC which I built over a year ago and I've had slight small problems with it over the years but nothing really bad. Today I turned the PC on and it started up fine and then after a few minutes it froze and wouldn't respond then after a minute or two it started responding then froze again. The screen went all wonky, like static then a BSOD appeared and said something about fault on non page unfortunately the screen vanished and the PC rebooted before I had the time to take to take a picture and my memory isn't that good. So it restarted and got all the way to login screen but after I entered my password and hit enter the screen was just black, then the mouse appeared but that's it. I restarted PC and now I get A disk read error occurred Press Ctrl + Alt + Del to restart error everytime I start up my PC.
I have had this disk read error happen a couple of times but usually when I press ctrl +alt+del it works but not this time. Could both these errors be caused by my hard drive being faulty? I have had the feeling it has been on the for awhile now but wasn't sure. Could the hard drive being faulty cause the non page error I got? I did have the problem where the system was freezing and disconnected the IDE DVD drive which fixed the problem but it seems the problem has come back.
Also I do have a Asus 6850 graphics card which is a couple of months old but I think I had the problem before I installed the card. Any help would be appreciated, I need my PC for gaming![Frown :( :(](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
