Good afternoon y'all! For a few months now my current build, in my sig, has been dead. I'm not sure what the exact issue is as my machine is not able to see my boot drive when I moved it 3 feet. Looking at my months old tabs of what I was troubleshooting, it looked to be me trying to fix the boot record. I can try to get the exact error message later for anyone who might be curious or want to help TS it. Moving on...
Currently I have a few options:
Option 1, install a new copy of Win 10 on a new HD; my old Win 10 was me upgrading from Win 7 for free.
Option 2, replace the mother board for another socket LGA 1150 mobo; in case the SATA ports are an issue.
Option 3, upgrade to the econobox or sweet spot 2019 build; cannibalize what I can out of my old system. (probably only the PSU and SSDs).
I figure if I go the cheapest route of option 1 or 2, I should be fine till Zen 4 rolls out next year. If I go to option 3, I can get more use of out my computer (4K video editing, playing all the games I was unable to on my current build), and upgrade to Zen 4 in 2022/23.
I'm still keen to isolate the issue, and fixing the cause if possible, but am prepared for option 1 and 2 and riding out the system till next year.
