Hi again!
New problems!!
Not really sure where to go from here.
So everything that has happend is that I have reinitialized the disk with HD sentinel (as I understand write zeros all over it).
Then formatted it and put it back in the cpu and reinstalled windows using a USB. found ISO file here.

So then I redid everything and windows did a Large amount of udates.. around 150. And some of them went wrong but it didnt seem to matter..
Everything went fine I installed some more drivers and actually ran a computer game to test it. I ran HD sentinel again which showed me around 86% health of the disk. So I thought all was good. I did not yet install avast or any other antivirus softwares.
Now today (like 4-5 days later) it (spu) just froze all of a sudden and this new BSOD came up, with code 0x000007A kernel_data_inpage_error.
I tried to reboot only to get into BIOS where the HD was not even recognized... let it sit for a while and rebooted like everything was fine (took a bit longer).
I read a bit about the error and someone said that if the error occurs when the cpu is warm it could be the motherboard failing or a memory error so ran memory diagnostics tool with 2 passes which found zero errors.
Then HD sentinel has now found a few errors and helath has decreased to 78%.... Performance is still 100% and expected lifetime above 1000 days.
I have pasted the recomendations below, which seem to indicate something might be wrong with my cables or the HDD. But yesterday I ran a surface test with no bad sectors...?
IF the motherboard or cable is failing I guess I need a totally new cpu..?
But I dont know how to find that out? I am considering buying a new HDD but dont want to do that if the problme lies with the motherboard...
So what would you recommend?? What can I test? CAn I test the cables in some way?
Ps. I am using the computer right now without any problems..
The recomendatons read:
The drive found 7 bad sectors during its self test.
There are 7 weak sectors found on the disk surface. They may be remapped any time in the later use of the disk.
1256 errors occured during data transfer. This may indicate problem of the device or with data/power cables. It is recommended to examine and replace the cables if possible.
At this point, warranty replacement of the disk is not yet possible, only if the health drops further.
It is recommended to examine the log of the disk regularly. All new problems found will be logged there.
It is recommended to continuously monitor the hard disk status.
