TSMikeW said: Greetings @shady16 Sounds like your drive isn't accessible. Explains the freezing or hard locking and the inability to write dump files to it. Do you have running programs installed on secondary drives? I would watch out for this. Go down to one drive and test. Preferably throw Windows on another drive and see if that resolves the problem.
TSMikeW said: @shady16 Freezing in the BIOS is interesting. Did it freeze in the BIOS, on after POST when it was trying to boot to your flash drive? Barring that with a bad drive that becomes unresponsive, it'll pass diagnostics. The only failure you'll ever get is if it happens during the diagnostic, you'll get a timeout.
TSMikeW said: @shady16 Good plan. Let us know where you are with it and we'll see what we can do if the issues persist.
TSTonyV said: Likely hardware related then, it's just a matter of narrowing it down. First thing I would do is try a single stick of memory at a time to rule those out. After that, try disconnecting all your drives except one with Windows and leave it by itself. I would also try installing Windows on a different drive entirely and try running with it by itself.
TSTonyV said: Hard to say without swapping out other hardware then. If you'd like, you can always bring the system to your local Micro Center. The service desk can run diagnostics on your computer to figure out what's wrong. Diagnostics are $39.99
