@Beltboy I finally got it up an running minus the wireless card. I installed all drivers direct from Intel with no luck. I went into device manager and the PC recognizes the card as a network device but still wont activate. Its no big deal because I remembered that I can use my cell as a wireless adapter. As long as its working then I'm good. Shouldn't be on the internet anyway. @Visler7000 I will check the HDD with crystal disk. Will it check both drives as one since it is in RAID 1 or scan them separately.

Okay so I got the stupid crypto virus thing that has been floating around. Thankfully it didn't get anything important or wasn't backed up. I use the computer for my home studio and I had someone come over to record. It has been acting up recently and I think there may be a hardware failure somewhere. Maybe the board or cable because I have been having issues with the cd/dvd being detected but ignore it since I don't use it often. I will list what has been going on and what I did as a result. - I setup the session in Pro Tools 11 and both mouse and keyboard (Wired) decide to stop working. - I unplug then plug them back in. No change I hold the power button to shutdown. - Restart the computer mouse and keyboard are working again. - Setup a new session and after about 30 min of recording pro tools crashes and won't recover. Shut down normally. - Restart the computer again and now I'm getting boot errors. - I figure its the virus causing problems so I grab the Windows Disk and prepare for a fresh install. - Start the install process, get 10% in and it says cannot detect cd/dvd driver. - Decided to retry and system wont detect cd/dvd drive. - Create install flash drive and complete install. - Log in and system doesn't detect the wireless card. (also boots very slowly). Full System Specs: - Evga Z87 Classified board - Intel Core i7 4770k Processor (Stock Clock) - 32GB Kingston Hyper X memory - 240GB Kingston Hyper X SSD - Evga GTX760 SC graphics card (Stock Clock) - Intel Wireless ac w/ Bluetooth 4.0 on PCI riser card - Evga Supernova 750g - 2x Seagate 2TB HDD in RAID 1 Im pulling my hair out and I have a session to do tomorrow. Please any opinions will be greatly appreciated.

@ thanks for the heads up. @KayTees I can't wait to rip out the sound system and do a complete overhaul.

Thank you everyone for the warm welcome. To MAAAAAD no the one in the pic isn't mine but I do have one exactly like it. My pictures are to large lol.

Hello I'm new here on these forums. I'm new to the whole computer building thing. I tend to lean towards the expensive stuff because I have more confidence that it will work and last a long time. I had help building my first pc (Pictures and Specs coming soon) and just built my first computer on my own a little over a year ago. Please forgive any ignorant questions and/or comments I might ask/say.
