THIS IS A EDIT DIDN'T WORD FIRST ONE SPECIFIC ENOUGH.
So I recently installed a new Motherboard and processor in my PC. Did a Clean install of Windows. I have installed Steam on SSD that has my OS on right now and it lets me install games no problems or anything. When I put steam on my HDD though which is where I would prefer it and try to install games I always get Corrupt Disk error, try deleting the file that's corrupt and restarting the download. It will start downloading for a little bit then stop itself and freeze steam. and it also makes it to where it won't let me open ANYTHING on my PC with mouse or keyboard. Start menu, task manager nothing. Like my mouse still moves and everything but I have to press and hold the PCs power button to start it back up do anything and as soon as I reopen steam the same thing happens.

On the other hand, 1TB droves are on sale for only $39.


well i recently saw that uplay was having issues working correctly as well. like honestly the whole system just seems off to me than when I had my old mobo and processor. I should have specified the freeze like i can move the mouse any everything i just can't open any applications or the start menu
 
okay uhm... so i tried putting steam on my SSD that has my OS instead of my HDD that i want it on and put my games at, no freezes what so ever and installed games. so I'm guessing somethings up with my HDD then?
 
Yes I did I had Uplay on it as well and after awhile it said it had a crash error for Uplay it didn't freeze windows or anything I don't remember specifically what it said. I ran CCleaner and it did everything but still had the issue. On the SSD everything works perfectly fine. put Uplay on steam on it was able to download games thought I prefer em not to be on my ssd but there is not a single issue I had that way.
