After getting a new pc, I bought an internal HDD to add more storage, but it started giving me disk write errors when dowloading games on steam. Usually if I restarted the error would go away and I could continue downloading but eventually it got so bad that I couldnt download anything new. I returned the drive, thinking that the problem was with that, but when I got a new one I got the same errors. Switching the Sata cable did not change anything so unless there is a problem with the motherboard I think it is a software issue but I am not sure how to fix it. Ive tried repairing the Steam library, clearing the download cache, running chkdsk, trying to uncheck the box that allows read and write for the steam folder (which didnt work) and clearing the disk. Does anyone have any thoughts on what could be the issue?

The PSU is the Real power Eco Silent 500 with a 500 Watt power capacity (i think), should noted that it is second hand.Comment

You have a GPU that requires a minimum of a 550W or above Gold efficiency rated PSU from one of the following, Corsair RM range, EVGA, Seasonic or Super Flower, seven year warranty minimum but preferably ten.Originally posted by Human298
You have used junk PSU that ha no efficiency rating and is so weak that even when out of the box new it could only produce 396W and even that figure is questionable.
Regarding used PSUs, just donβt go there, the PSU is the most important PC component of all so always go new, quality and appropriate output, if you needed a heart transplant would you want a fit and healthy replacement or one from someone who smoked forty cigarettes a dayComment
