I bought the hard drive from stone computer when I did my build. My old hard drive wasn't compatible. It's under warranty. I just have to convince them that it's the hard drive that's bad.

They do and they would probably do that if I asked.
Ok I see, Stone computer is a local PC shop then?
Yes I would ask them to test your hard drive and/or motherboard because one or the other is bad.
Okay. Sounds good. I'll let you know if anything changes.
What tests should I ask them to run?
Actually I just got so frustrated that I ordered a new hard drive and a new motherboard and I'll just install both of them. We'll see if that solves the problem.
Minus a CPU (which there have been 0 signs of) I'd say this is the almost full proof way of making them go away.
Just make sure you come back here and start a new thread on installation forum and ask for assistance installing your hardware and then installing the OS, getting correct drivers and updates.
Will do. Thanks.
Well, I ended up replacing the mother board and the hard drive and wouldn't you know it, the system works flawlessly. I guess sometimes you just have to throw money at a situation to fix it.
Either way, thanks for all your help gator. Consider this case closed.
