Some real weird stuff been happening with my computer recently and i'm not sure if they are all connected or if its all seperate incidents and im just unlucky. Was wondering if anyone here may be able to shed some light on any of them.
So about a week ago my computer wouldnt boot and i had to have a poke about inside, taking some bits out and back in and and finally reinstalling windows. Everything seemed ok after that, well for a little while.
So a few days later i bought myself a new hdd and went to install it. Now my motherboard has 6 sata ports and four are in use, but nothing will work when i plug them into the bottom two. Ive swapped things round and doesnt matter the cable or device, anything in the bottom two wont work. Though why would two specific ports not work?
Next my keyboard wouldnt work the other day, so i plugged it into a different usb in the back and it says something about an error installing drivers and still doesnt work. I tried other things like my camera into the same usb sockets and they work fine. Now the weird thing is that if i plug the keyboard into the front usb sockets it works fine every time. I plugged it back into a rear one the other day and it worked. Come in tonight and its not working again, but still works in the front one....
Last issue is that my dvd drive seems to be acting weird. Ive never had any issues with it since it was built. Now out of the blue im burning stuff and 1/3 of the discs dont even burn, they get errors. The ones that do burn i bring downstairs and they dont work. Some will work after being put in for the tenth time or something daft, but some just refuse point blank to work on my dvd player. The same discs though work fine on the computer.
Like i say i dont know if this is all linked or its just damn bad luck. Anyone got any ideas or heard of anything like these problems before.
