I doubt he booted from it or did a deep disk scan. A disk that's slightly dodgy will easily work as a secondary drive and even pass a basic chkdsk. But if Windows is over dodgy sectors, it'll cause problems still.

I did boot from my HDD in my friends PC. It loaded fine and I logged into my profile, opened things, etc.

No problem at all, thanks for your input

Ok, so I've noticed that when I'm stuck on the black screen and I tap keys on the keyboard there's little tick noises coming from the motherboard, hard to explain but it sounds as if it's sparking every time I hit a key.
I'm really starting to think that the problem is the motherboard. So I'm trying to source one, they're a little scarce as I need a 1155 socket! Can anyone reccomend a good one for me? And links maybe?

Thanks a lot for the offer but I already bought one, and it DIDNT work...
I seriously don't know what to do now.

Don't know if you have tried this yet.

Use two separate pcie power cables.

Can you boot into safe mode?
