You were smart to go with just one monitor. The titan xs are fukked up in surround sli right now (multiple people are having the same issues as me). But that 7680x1440, 6K :noah:

I think my hard drive is dying :mjcry:

Can't install any new programs

Can't see one of my external hard drives in My Computer

The other external is there, but when I try to access it, Windows Explorer freezes and I have to restart it

I can't shut down normally, it hangs when I try it.

Disk checking did nothing

Internet videos take minutes to load, even though the page loads right away

I just want to make sure this is the drive and not anything else, don't want to end up replacing everything like I did last time

:snoop:

I had similar issues and it turned out to be a bad SATA cable. try swapping that out if you have another one. and/or try another SATA port on your mobo

First thing you should do with any place that sales custom made gaming machines is check the return policy...

Often times they have things in them like...if it cost x amount of dollars you can't return it no matter what...if something get's damaged in shipping you can't return it no matter what...if you open the case you "void" the builders warranty and then they are not liable to fix anything...

Second thing...build it yourself...it is not hard...shyt nowadays most computer components only go in one way so it is almost impossible to break something during a build...

Third thing...if you are too shook to build...look around locally where you stay...you should have at least 1 computer shop that will put a rig together for you...all you got to do is buy the parts...

If you don't build number 3 is the best option because if something is wrong with the machine you can take it back to a local place yourself and often times they will have warranties on their work...and you don't have to worry about your PC flopping around on a UPS truck...you don't ever want a PC anywhere near a UPS truck for any reason...

Last year I had to step in and help a friend when he bought an Ibuypower gaming pc that was built with a shytty psu and cabled horribly...amongst other things...then when he sent it back to them they sent it right back to him doing absolutely nothing saying that "shipping caused these issues and we are not responsible for shipping you will have to talk to UPS"...

Level 2 and 3 for a gpu?:russ:

Like...what could he possibly be trying to convince you is the problem...

Don't you still have those 780ti's...? Should be a wrap after you tell him that when you pop the ti's back in place you don't have any issues...

lol, did that fix it? that shyt caused me so many headaches cause I couldn't figure it out

I'm never buying cheap SATA cables again :pacspit:

Breh...couple weeks ago...thought my main hard drive was dying in my file server...

Over the course of last year it was booting slow and it had gotten to the point where half the time it would just blue screen 5 minutes after a boot...

I installed a VM on it and that seemed to be the nail in the coffin...just powering up the VM brought the hard drive to a crawl until the PC just completely froze...

No big deal...I will go cop a cheap as 500gb drive for 40 bucks...it's just the OS disk after all...

So I install a disk utility and run all these test on the disk...nothing wrong with the disk...it has high read and write speeds AND it doesn't have any bad sectors...

Do some more digging...remembered that last year I rearranged some disk and put the OS disk on a sata card I installed for additional hard drive space...it's my file server so I got 6 hard drives in it now and the card got me up to being able to support 12...

So I check device manager...the driver shows up as some generic sata controller shyt...

Went to the manufacturer...downloaded the drivers for the card...

Boom solved every problem I had and now all 3 disk on this sata card are blazing fast...

shyt had me like :ohhh:...I was really about to go all the way to fukking best buy to get a cheap ass disk....and all I had to do was install some drivers...
