System specs
SSD (drive with problem): PNY XLR8 240GB
CPU: Amd Fx 8320 4.1GHz
Ram: 8GB Ram
So first a problem I've been having for a few weeks. Whenever my ssd was being written to or something it would pretty much freeze my entire computer with the HDD light staying on. It would freeze for 5-15 seconds. I didn't think too much about it and just assumed I needed to reinstall windows but I didn't feel like doing that because it wasn't that big of an annoyance.
What I have installed recently:
Yesterday: Unreal Engine 4 Editor
Today: Wacom Bamboo Driver.
So a friend wanted me to make a video for him so I thought it would be cool to draw it out on my pc using my drawing tablet that has been stored away for a while. It works without the driver but the tracking of the pen isn't great, plus you get more features on the tablet. I had a few browsers open and a Skype call going with him. The driver finished installing, and I went to plug it in, and then my pc just shut down. No BSOD or anything. Just off. I tried to turn it back on, and I'm greeted with a message saying no boot medium was found. I go into the bios and my ssd is the first thing to get checked.
I managed to locate my windows 7 install disk, and I put it in, went to repair my computer, and it can't find the OS.... I found an article online that said to try to set the system partition as active. I did that, and then tried to do system repaid like 4 times.
I am currently copying my user folder to my HDD, planning for a fresh system install. Is there anything I could do to save my installation, as it will take a long time to download my steam library of 30+ games (400KB/s).
