Built my so a PC a while ago. It used to have random freezing issues, that were solved with invaluable help on this forum to a poor quality psu.
Anyhow recently its been having random issues where the hdd stops responding and occ freezes.
He wanted a new gpu, so I thought I would also get a new ssd hdd to replace the older normal hdd, which to be fair was, quite old, and I hoped it would cure the unresponsiveness.
Put it all together, but during the installation of windows 10, during the file transfer it errored out with a missing file error. Redid the install USB a couple of times but still the same.
Noticed in the bios that the Sata ports it was not using were set to AHCI, the ones it was were set to IDE. Set them to ACHI and windows installed no problem.
Could these ports being set to IDE be the source of all his issues??, or could it have just been a corrupt windows installation.
Of note, since the install, all been fine.
I'm just wondering for my own education 🙂
