Hi all
I have recently upgraded my mobo and cpu (see spec below) and also gone to Windows 8.1 from 7. Anyway, I have 2 1TB Samsung F3 HDDs, one which I have been using for about 3 years, the other I was given as a spare.
In games I'm hearing clicking and when it happens my game freezes, only for about half a second, but it's really annoying aand pretty frequent too. I have tried it in World of Tanks, Skyrim and CS:GO...all do the same thing when loading during gameplay.
Now when I installed this originally I used software RAID 0 through Windows, I then after figuring it out reinstalled Windows and configured them for RAID0 through Intel Rapid Storage, THEN I got rid of RAID and have them as separate drives. I have put WOT on both, unplugged a drive, played it..unplugged the other drive...played it. I've run out of things to try and I cannot find anything on Google. Does anyone know what this could be? As far as I know all my drivers are up to date, as is Windows now.
Any help I'd honestly be happy with!
Spec:
Asus Z97-K mobo
Intel i5 4690k Devils Canyon - stock timings, stock cooler
2 X 4GB Samsung Green @ 1600mhz 9-9-9-24
2 X 1TB Samsung HD103SJ SpinPoint F3 HDD
1 X Crucial M4 120gb SSD running Windows 8.1
Corsair 750W PSU
XFX Black Edition Radeon 6780 running out of the box OC
Asus Essence ST sound card (running unified drivers)
