i was playing world of warcraft a few days ago when in game it started to get choppy, and started to pause frequently. i thought the cpu was overheating so i shut down the pc for a while, when i powered back on, i couldnt boot into desktop and couldnt get in through safe mode either.
"failed to load several win/system32/drivers"
i formatted and got into desktop, installed mobo drivers, graphics drivers e.t.c windows updates, anti virus. i reinstalled World of warcraft, but now im getting the same pauses, and the pc is making a seeking noise (buzzing) whenever i open menus and lags/pauses for a while. im also getting low frames per second and artifacts in game.
3.2ghz northwood
2 X 74gb raptors in raid 0
9800xt
abit ic7-max3
1gb 3200
after the format, it said raid 0 failed on bootup, rebooted itself and then raid 0 was "normal" but the actual raid 0 volume is only 50% of what its size should be, aswell as my IDE drive i use for back up is only 50% of its normal size. generally the whole pc is sluggish, and has become very loud, ive checked the temps they are fine. it was working perfectly before it crashed for 1 year. any solutions? thanks.
