Hi, thanks for reading this first off! I had a 4 year old harddrive that was starting to fail and i replaced it with a new Western Digital black 1 tb i got from microcenter. Inital windows 10 install was fine seemed as good as i could ask. After i installed all my drivers and started on the programs i was starting to notice that they would stop responding to the point i cant close em or even open task manager just restart and try again. Steam seems to somehow be the easiest to crash, i sign in and itll disapear and a min or 2 later restart and have me resign in. When left alone within a hour to 2 itll be completely closed and windows will barely reapond unless a restart. Any suggestions? Any ideas? It is only on its 2nd day of use and i have a 15 day warranty to replace or brimg back as well as a 2 yr extended and a 5 yr from WD but i cant be positive this isnt new hard drive fuckery yet.

 

EDIT: i am about 2 weeks into new drive and i dont notice the crashing or not responding it stopped about 5 days after first install, it came back 2-3 days later for about 2-3 days then just slowly disapeared. i left steam and battle.net aswell as origins running no crashes all were responsive. i chalk this one up to fucking stupid technology bs we all love.
