It was a hard-disk failure. I thought it was a videocard problem at first, but I'm scratching my head how my hard-disk failed. So last time I posted about my computer not being able to boot, I've figured out that there was a problem with my old hard-disk. It's a hard-drive that wasn't backed up and 3 years worth of data. I bought a new hard-drive and reinstalled my OS. My computer's working now, and so I just need to find a way to salvage all that data from my old drive. My cousin suggested to turn it into an external drive. But I'm worried about the problem this stubborn old disk is posing. Whenever I plug in the power + SATA, (and while the OS has already booted), my computer crashes into a BSOD. So what I'm concerned about is if I turn my old disk into an external drive, will it crash into BSOD if I plug in the USB? Until I manage to save up money, I need to hold off from using this Dell XPS 730 computer and use my HP with Eyefinity. But my new HP desktop needs a better videocard.
