So past couple months I have been having some hard drive problems. My first hard drive died, and I sent it back for warranty but I also brought a new one (since I would be without a hard drive) so I have been using that one. This week the new hard drive is now becoming a problem.
Although now I believe it might be a motherboard problem. As when I turn my computer on, it will not even get up to the bios motherboard screen. But I'm not sure since it could be the hard drive again. As it often blue screens and stuffs up especially when been on for long times.
So does anyone now what might be he problem? Help is appreciated.
It also might be a good idea to back up all of your data now before something goes wrong with the drive.
AMD FX-8350, AMD Radeon 7850, Seagate Barracuda 2 x 2TB, 1 x 3TB, 16GB RAM, ASRock 970-PRO3 motherboard
Computer has been booting up fine the last couple of times.
I believe it has to do with the heat but I've never noticed it getting hot. I do have plans to water cool, mainly to help out with the temperature in my room and in the PC also because my fans are loud.
Check the sata connections from the mobo to the HDD's and try swapping them around (definitely move the boot drive to a different once). But yea, it is honestly sounding like more of a mobo problem than a HDD one if you a) have issues getting into the bios screen and happened with an older HDD too and now recently with a newer one as well.
You shouldn't have bad enough luck to have a new HDD stop working that quickly.
My friend has this problem with his computer but hes to lazy to fix it
so im thinking that i may be your OS because it crashes on the desktop you said
try to do a reinstall see if that works if not your case's airflow might be crap add some case fans or keep your room real cool
By BIOS do you mean POSTing which is where it beeps once if everything is running fine at a basic level? Let me ask you a question, in the event of it not turning on when you press the power button does the display stay off?
Yeah it doesn't get past that. Although it isn't often it does that.
Have any memory dumps been made? If so, can you upload them somewhere?
If you feel it is a component, you can disconnect all drives from the board and see if you can then duplicate the POST issue. If you can, then you'll want to begin to eliminate other components.
You can also run memtest overnight to see if you get any errors.

This might sound crazy but I know your problem. Check your computer remove the first memory stick and replace it with one next to it. You have a memory stick failure (possibly first stick, most likely) and the BIOS has a problem writing to it which prevents the graphic card from sending a signal to the monitor.
