Well its Official My Pc Finally Died :(

Well, My Digital Storm Computer finally gave up the ghost and died after about 2 months of strange issues that kept happening then going away. I had figured that I had solved it and it was running fine then I started to get some crashing and contacted digital storm worked it out and was going to send it in and I ran a reinstall of windows 10 and the problems went away for 4 days and then finally today when I was rendering a video the system shut off and rebooted and I also happened to be installing a Radeon graphics driver and the system basically rebooted hung on the windows loading circle and I got the dreaded sound of a clicking hard drive and the GPU died as well. So I'm figuring maybe the motherboard went and friend them. Oh well but its going to be expensive the GPU was one that I bought and installed after getting the computer so its not covered by digital storm.

Ive had nothing but positive things to say about Digital Storm and still do, it wasnt their fault but well as of now I'm out a pc until I can buy a new one. I did contact digital storm but have to wait till tomorrow to get a response.

Btw for those that remember my pc was a what I term custom vanquish, cause they had ran out of cases so Alex had given me a Corsair Obsidian Case instead and since then I've referred to it as custom was ordered late November 2015 got it December 15th 2015. And ran fine since then.

Well I basically have no budget right now to spend on a computer I have to find some money because I anticipated having this computer for many more years I never saved for the next one figured at least 2 more years. But I'm now in that boat where idk what I'm going to do.

It won't do any good, the SSD,Mechanical drive and GPU are confirmed dead tested in a confirmed working system

some of your busted parts might be under warranty through the manufacturer still. Might be a place to start looking and get some free replacements, you might just have to pay shipping to get the part to them in the first place

Seems to me that he has a reasonable grasp on the issue. Computers are finicky items, its really important to have someone stand behind the product even if you want to go pushing things around on your own.
