About a year and a half ago I built my computer, and I was knowledgeable enough to put it together but definitely not to troubleshoot all of the issues it's had. A few months ago the 2TB Seagate hard drive failed slowly but surely until the computer didn't work at all. I blamed it on a faulty hard drive and sent it in to be replaced. The issues started with the computer freezing up and only recovering when I powered off and then on again.
So I purchased an SSD of another make and installed that. However recently the computer is showing similar signs to the beginning of my last hard drive failure, so I suspect it's not the drive but something else. Any advice on what to check/do?
