Hello to all.

Your holiday my PC fixed has taken to give problems. How do I turn when I leave attacked the SATA hard disk (already replaced once by Seagate), windows does not start, or when should get the blue screen with the word windows is all black and not right. If the detachment of hard disk apart from normal. I tried to connect on 3 Molex different and if I am with a verse of the strange and hardly PC, another does the same and the third hangs at the point that I described, but is on the hard drive. I tried to change the adapter Molex -> removed but does the same. But what will be?

It feel strange noises specially when it comes from dell hard disk.
If you can somehow start to the OS hard disk connected with the trial to control values with smart crystaldisk (Sec download)

But can you describe the problem occurred in hard disk.

Sincerely strange noises in addition to those mentioned do not feel. But what I think are clear to see that the hard disk was something wrong. In fact, for a second downgrade this week (it is a reclaimed for anything else) has worked.

In all likelihood there are bad sectors on the disk surface, that is why makes strange noises.
In the first post said that one of Molex still managed to start the PC, if you can still try to make him an error scan with HDTune.
