My PC appears to have crashed. This is a system I built probably 10 or more years ago, maybe much longer. And over the years IIRC have upgraded the MB. It had a 1.5tb HDD as well as a 1tb SSD. Over the last couple of months I have noticed a high pitched whining sound. Seemed to start and stop. This was coming from the SSD. It then got to where when booting the cmos wouldn’t even see the SSD. System seemed to boot fine otherwise. At one point in the last week system seems extremely slow to boot. I also ordered a deal where you can plug in drive to a device that connects to PC. With SSD connected I finally got it to recognize the drive but when trying to access, sits there and then gives I/O error drive not accessible.
Installed SSD back in machine, same thing. Also, I have noticed that even without the SSD installed the main HDD is started and stopping all the time and takes forever to load windows. At the moment machine won’t even load windows, just goes into a repair then says not able to repair. Only option is to try to have to reinstall windows. Back to SSD, tried connecting it to a laptop and it shows the drive which appears to have 2 partitions but clicking on either one, it spins/loads for a few minutes. Strange thing is when viewing these drives in windows it doesn’t show capacity and free space. Eventually it basically says drive inaccessible. I need to recover this drive. Any ideas or software that might work? Point of the post. Thinking it’s time for a new system. Should I just order new MB, memory, hard drive etc, build a completely new system, or just buy a commercially prebuilt one such as HP etc? The prices of these seem so cheap these days and will already have OS installed maybe that makes the most sense? If I go this route I will then attempt to connect these drives externally to recover data. Anyone have any thoughts on this?
