easily the most dedicated player on my team, constantly demo reviewing himself, dm'ing, reviewing other team's stvs, and pro player demos as well.
Additionally, I don't think I've ever seen someone improve as much as Rainy did these past 3 months.
High quality player easily mid-high main ready, and will only be going up in terms of skill.

Top tier fragger, would have him scout again

I think the play for me here, is now that I have my computer up and running, with all my important files untouched, is to just purchase a new HDD and not worry about the old one. It did last me 5 years, so I'm happy with its lifespan.

Thank you so much Setsul and Screwball for your consistent and helpful support. Knowing there are people like you on this forum take a lot of pressure off of me when I can't troubleshoot something myself and there are no working fixes I can find already posted.

The HDD never showed up on linux though, which was why I needed to upload my files onto google drive instead of copy them from SSD > HDD

Booted my PC up without the HDD or boot drive connected, just the SSD, and it gave me one blue screen from before, then on the 2nd it did a disk check and repair and then it took me into my desktop no problems. Restarted again for good measure and took me into my desktop again without any issue. HDD still disconnected.

I've also recently found out that my mobo isn't compatible with my CPU, though I've been running the two together since I bought them 10 months ago, with no problems (unless that caused the PSU issue and now this..).

But there is a thread claiming that my mobo does support it, so I'm not really understanding if this is a big issue or not.

I obviously bought the motherboard with the false assumption that i7 chipsets and ddr4 come together, so if my mobo I bought supports ddr4 RAM, then it will be compatible with an i7

Update:

I tried my boot drive on a dinosaur PC, and it worked fine and went straight to the windows install menu.
Then I went back to my PC and disconnected the SSD, but the boot drive still wouldn't boot to the HDD.
Then I went back and plugged my SSD into the dino and the boot drive went to the windows install menu with and without the dino's HDD connected.

So I suppose its a problem with my motherboard? However the linux boot on my PC worked fine.

Screwball suggested it could be a motherboard issue. I did replace my PSU 2 weeks ago and when pulling the power cables out of the old components, some of them I had to pull hard on, could it be possible I damaged the motherboard in the process?

Also I replaced my PSU 2 weeks ago because my old PSU started to restart my pc (like when the power flickers) whenever I'd launch any game more intense than TF2 (PUBG, WoW, GTA V, etc). Is it possible that my PSU damaged my mobo or other components?

Just to be proactive, how would I go about reinstalling windows?

I only have 1 8gb+ USB drive which currently has linux on it. Again, I do have the windows 8.1 disc so I'm wondering if I install windows 8.1 and then install windows 10 from their website using windows 8.1?

I also am wondering how to wipe my SSD? In the BIOS I did see an option called secure erase+ which said it would wipe my C drive. Is that the best method for reinstalling?

Using a Mac won't let me download a media creation tool to repair/reinstall windows so I'm wondering if the only way is using the 8.1 windows disc?

That is the SSD

I've since located the folders I need, but my HDD isn't showing up in the ubuntu file explorer. I talked with screwball and he suggested since I can't find the HDD to just upload the pictures to google drive, which is what I'm doing.

But if I'm able to find the HDD that would be ideal.

Thanks for your guys' help so far I really appreciate it!

Ran the short SMART test, it said overall assessment: Disk ok

Just can't figure out how to access specific files/folders to copy them from SSD to HDD. I've gotten into the file explorer and have access to my files, I just am not sure how to locate the folders I'm looking for specifically
Definitely going to choose to just reinstall windows though once I get there

Thanks Dr. Setsul for responding!

I haven't made the linux boot drive yet, just a few questions I was hoping you could enlighten me on.

- The only computer I have easy access to make a boot drive from is my Macbook Air. Would I be able to make a boot drive (linux or windows) from a Mac and have it work on a PC?

- Will a Linux boot drive work if my other boot drives aren't working? Or is there something else I should do in BIOS to ensure it will work?

Reason for asking: By disabling Windows 10 WHQL Support in my Bios, I was able to get my DVD/CD and USB boot drives to be accepted as boot devices, however my windows 10 boot drive got text saying it isn't a valid boot drive, and my Windows 8.1 CD took me to a black screen with a blue windows logo before just turning to a black screen.

Here is a 4 image album showing what happens when I try to boot from my boot drives and install disc. The images have some descriptions to them also.
