A few problems on my PC.

[Fortress]

Hi there. I have a few problems with my computer. 2 problems to be exact. I'm going to be stating them both in this topic rather posting 2 different ones.

 

SYSTEM SPECIFICATIONS: (I know it's rubbish, but it's the only one I had lying around after my "water cooling" incident that happened to my new PC)

 

CPU: Intel Pentium Dual-Core E5200 @ 2.5 GHz

RAM: Kingston ValueRAM DDR2 2GB

Motherboard: I don't know what the brand is.

GPU: Inno3D GeForce GT 220

HDD: Hitachi 500GB HDD

         WD Blue 1TB HDD

 

 

Problem #1: Problem solved by: @Minibois

 

Problem #2:

 

This one involves my old GT 220. The problem is, when I installed my 1TB HDD, it works perfectly fine. But when I install my graphics drivers, it works for a while and then just freezes the computer. But it's not a normal thing, because once it freezes, it doesn't boot up. You have to pull the GPU out from the motherboard, and then push it back in. Sometimes it works, but sometimes you have to really push it in. I have done that once and the PCB bent, probably because I put too much force into it. I'm getting tired of doing that. And once it works again, it freezes again and then you have to do everything again. I have no idea what the problem is.

Problem 1:

Have you tried taking the Hitachi drive out of the system and plugging in the WD drive that in the SATA port that HDD used? I kind of feel like that might it the problem.

 

Problem 2:

Not sure what the problem exactly is, but it is probably not good that you have to insert your GPU all the time.

Is this with the same PC or not?

Answer to the First question:

I might have to try that.

Answer to the second question:

Yes. It is the same computer

Apparently, it has worked! I removed the Hitachi HDD and plugged the WD into the SATA port where the Hitachi was connected.

Well, you know the problem is not the HDD, but possibly the motherboard. (Or one of it's SATA ports)

I'm not exactly sure about the 2nd problem, it might be a dying GPU or a dying PCIE slot of the motherboard

I called a friend who is a computer technician and he said he would come to my place and check it out. I'm going to mark this as solved. The first problem is solved, but the second one isn't. Thanks for helping @Minibois
