Thank you, I installed 8.1 on my 2nd spinning drive and it has been running for a day fine now. Well.. time to get a new ssd.

Hi guys so I have a Intel ssd in my computer along with 2 other spinning drives. Recently my windows 8.1 installation which is on my ssd has been freezing randomly and once I even got a blue screen. When I try to reset the computer, it either won't get past the windows logo, or it will go to the login screen. If it does go to the login screen 50% of the time it will freeze when I type my password and press enter. If it freezes it won't unfreeze, leading me to be forced to press the hard reset button. If I run windows 7 on my 2nd spinning drive it checks for corrupted files and it actually finds corrupted files. I checked the Intel SSD toolkit and that says that smart is at 100% but i'm not too sure if that number is right. That leads me to believe that my windows install was corrupted so I backed everything up and I reinstalled windows. Unfortunately I am finding myself with the same exact problem as before so is it time for a new ssd or does this sound like something different? Any help is greatly appreciated, Thanks! Specs: CPU:AMD Athlon 760k GPU:AMD 5800 series MoBo:GIGABYTE GA-F2A88XM-D3H Ram:Kingston HyperX FURY 4GB 1600MHz I don't currently have info on the ssd model number, all I know is that it is made by Intel. (EDIT: My Mouse cursor can still move while frozen.)

I found what seems like a good computer with the parts list compiled by Austin that video came out today austinnotduncan.com/builds/photon. I am using a 1440x900 resulution monitor so I am thinking this computer should last. Here's the problem, my internet is EXTREMELY slow and it takes LOTS of time to download games that I own on steam also I have many programs that would be hard for me to recall to re-download. So can I directly plug in my old hard drive into my new computer, or do I need to transfer the files. I do own a hard drive enclosure so I could transfer the files ,but i'm tight on money right now so I don't want to spend money on another full drive. Any solutions. Thanks for the help!
