Computer keeps freezing, blue screening, and booting up.
5 replies, posted
My computer freezes lots of times when trying to exit/load web pages. In games such as tf2 when it's loading it would just keep loading and would prevent me from exiting. When I get in game it would freeze every few games or so(it's pretty random) then it would go into a blue screen if I don't shut down my computer. Lastly I get boot up errors such as press ctrl+alt+delete, and some other error having to do with a hard drive check/smart scan. When it didn't boot up I tried an old hard drive (this was the original hard drive but it was replaced because I thought a new one would fix the same problem) and got nothing but the mother board logo screen. Then after that I plugged the new one back in, then it started up. Now I'm here asking for help.
Download HDTune and run an error scan. If you can't do it, you can as far as I remember perform a disk check via your Windows 7 boot DVD. Here's a link: [url]http://www.w7forums.com/use-chkdsk-check-disk-t448.html[/url]
It could be a bad SATA cable or something like that, though, as your other HDD didn't work either. Are you sure it didn't show up in the boot preference menu in the BIOS?
Well I just finish the error scanning it everything came up green. Though in the health tab it had two warnings.

Is your SATA cable inserted properly? Try another SATA port as well, but really, I'm more sure than before that it's your HDD giving you trouble.
Well is there any other test to go through to see if its a bad hard drive?

Well, you can try ruling out everything else, like checking your RAM and what not. The description doesn't fit a RAM problem, though, and it just screams HDD error.
