Hello, I have a problem with my computer that I built myself a couple of months ago.

The problem is that it keeps stuttering, it will freeze for two seconds unfreeze freeze for another two seconds unfreeze and it will do this roughly 6 times 10 times a day. I have put up with it in the past but now I am experiencing complete crashes where my computer will not respond and will shut down.

I have tried to research this online but havent found much solutions available, rumour has it it could be from the cables i am using to connect my SSD, HDD and optical drive to my motherboard.

I have windows 7 on my SSD, and all of my other large files on my samsung HDD.

here is my computer setup;

What could also be creating this error is the multiple IDE's

Would appreciate any help, thanks.
 
You have something set wrong in the bios for your IDE/SATA controllers. I'm using a RAID array so my system settings are different than yours. Make sure your bios are set for SATA and not IDE
 
Ah, you maybe correct; I think I turned it to IDE because I use an SSD and a HDD? I thought you use IDE?
 
Ok, I had a look in the BIOS.

I went into intergrated peripherals navigated down and there was two SATA options

The first one was PCH Sata control mode which is on IDE. the other options for this was AHCI or raid i turned it to AHCI and my computer gave me the message disk error occured when restarting.

the next option is Esata3 ctrl mode which is on AHCI, the other option is IDE.

Which options should i change/leave?

thanks.
 
Generally whenever you change the mode in the BIOS (RAID, SATA or IDE), you have to reinstall the operating system. You can't just switch them at will.
 
Yes mailpup, I suspect that Esata3 AHCI would be the correct setting, but the OS would have to be re-installed fresh as with RAID 0
 
Ok, so PCH sata control mode will be Raid and Esata3 ctrl mode will be AHCI?

Are you sure these are the correct settings? I have windows 7 on my SSD and i use another HDD for storage. what is IDE used for?

How do I go about changing this, Change the settings in the BIOS and then reinstall windows on my SSD? How do I go about reinstall windows do I just enter the installation disc or do I wipe my SSD first?

And are you sure this will fix my freezing issues?

sorry for the questions but I just don't want to install Windows again wrongly as i've allready done it twice from previous errors. thanks.
 
IDE means Integrated Drive Electronics. IDE is an OLD hard drive interface spec. 40 individual pins and a 4-pin Molex power connector on a hard drive, not like SATA with a small flat data connector and a 4-wire smaller/flatter power connector. Deal with the SSD drive first. If you can't see the other drive once the OS is installed on the SSD drive you will have to re-format it too. If you can see the second drives contents leave it alone
 
ok, i'll try this tomorrow when i wake up. can you just confirm that the settings i mentioned above are correct? (last post, first sentence)

Want to make sure my BIOS settings are correct.
 
"Ok, so PCH sata control mode will be Raid and Esata3 ctrl mode will be AHCI?"

In a word yes, choose AHCI (Esata3)
 
Installing windows 7, Currently stuck on "Expanding Windows files (98%)" Have been for over 2 hours now.
 
Have installed windows 7 on the SSD, was working fine updated everything and then bam; was playing a game and the Pc just completely crashed.

must be a harddrive problem? ;/

Edit: been using my computer for around 2 hours now and nothing has happened, no errors lags or freezes. the crash occured when i was using a game that was located on my hdd not my SSD faulty setup or dodgey hdd?

thanks
 
So after 2 hours the Windows 7 install finally finished? Try disconnecting the normal hard drive and see if the problem game will play off the SSD normally
 
Can't you play the game from a CD/DVD drive directly? How did the Windows 7 install finish? Did it really take over 2 hours? Try installing another SATA hard drive and see if everything works then. If you can get this to work I may try the SSD thing too
 
There was something said about a sound card causing the problem. What sound are you running, on-board or a sound card installed?
 
I'll have to buy another hard drive, it says something about jmicron ports? could this be the problem?
