Well I have seen on the market a new board that uses DDR 5 memory and advanced tech on the board with multiple M.2 slots and then some. I think it have a video connector as well. I moved on from looking at it because it was to expensive for me. It was over $600 and that is without the cpu or mem

I have been following this thread and I once had the same problem and found out it was a hardware issue. If you are still using the regular HDD then the hardware that read and writes to the HDD is failing and needs to be replaced. I use to have some new HDD and found some to have defects on the r
