hi. im facing a problem regarding my desktop.
initially the problem was that pc used to freeze with a buzzing sound coming from speakers aND i had to restart it to fix the issue.
but now while running my pc gets slowed. cursor moves sluggish sometimes. if im watching a movie, the movie stops for a few seconds. and when its played it produces a buzzing noise every 4-6 seconds.
and when i restart it gets stuck on the windows loading screen.. sometimes gets stuck on a black screen. and rarely says no drive found
when the computer gets stuck.. im mostly able to move my cursor.. but cannot do anything else.. i try ctrl + alt + del and screen goes black.. after a while the options show up and everything starts working as normal. during the stuck phase. the hard disk led is constantly on.
i also tried removing my dvd combo drive. i did life guard hard disk test for my hard disk. and it said pass.
all this is random. happens anytime.. be it browsing playing games or watching a movie.
im unable to diagnose the problem and cannot find any related problem on google or anywhere
heating is not an issue. temperature is around 60 degree of cpu and 45 of gpu.

specs
intel 2600k core i7 second generation
asus sabertooth p67 mother board
ati radeon 6950 2gb gpu
8gb ram corsair vengeance
500gb caviar black 500aalx
power supply coolermaster silent pro 600

my pc was fine up until recently.
kindly help me
 
no i never oc any hardware
drivers are not upto date i think. i reinstalled my windows and used the cd that came with my motherboard to install drivers
no i could never fix it. it vanishes for some time.. like a day or half a day.. starts happening again
my drive is almost half full. but i formatted it whole a week back when i reinstalled windows.
 
@ tealc
boot stuck at the windows loading screen.
and in performance tab cpu usage doesnot increase significantly

@ stabhappy
its 6 months old. the requirement for the gpu on amd website is 500w.
and its sli ready. im using only 1 gpu.
and kindly explain what did you mean checking by event log for errors in system
 
oh thankyou. i checked the event manager and its showing error
i was playing a game half an hour ago. my game hung. i pressend windows key start menu popped up but frooze there. cursor was moving. i pressed ctrl alt delete. nothing happened
although numlock and capslock was turning off and on. and hdd led was constantly on.
after a while it fixed itself and game continued. like 30 seconds or so
 
another thing i just noticed.
tried installing windows xp. it gave me bsod while at "loading setup files"
and tried installing vista 64 bit it told me some installer files are missing. borrowed another cd from friend.. said the same on it. then copied that dvd and made a bootable usb. same error.. unable to install 64 bit windows aswel.

problem has increased now. episodes of such hangs has tripled or more. and hang time has also increased from 30 seconds to 4-5 minutes. is any of my hardware failing ?
 
yes i used the dos version and it gave the error 0120 no hard disk found
yes hdd shows up in bios. it works fine sometimes.
i have tried the lifeguard test but was unsuccessful (dos version) windows version worked fine.
waiting for the night to do memtest as ive work to do in day.
ive tried replacing hdd cables and power cables.
i removed my dvd drive
updated my drivers
reinstalled windows (was unable to instal 64bit)
cleaned dust
thats about it. now i cant figure out what seems to be the problem.
the only thing that is coming to my mind is that my hard disk is dying. but i cant seem to find a way to confirm that
 
its very hard to reset cmos of my mother board. it has a full armor covering it that i will have to remove.
currently downloading the ubcd
and yes ive tried different sata ports
