Hello Rog Forum!:)

I need some help!!!

Specs:
-Windows 8 and 8.1
-AMD FX8350 @stock
-Corsair h60 v2 with Arctic Silver 5
-Asus Crosshair V Formula (non z)
-Corsair Vengeance DDR3 2133 16gb (4 modules) @1333mhz (Mobo defalt --' )
-Sapphire Radeon Hd 7970 oc boost @BIOS 2 aka 1ghz
-Corsair TX850w v2
-SSD Kingston 120gb
-HDD Seagate Barracuda 2TB 7200rpm
-Asus DvdRw
-Nzxt Phantom 410 with 7 Fans

I have build this PC but some time ago i start to experience some stranges sound and lag spikes issues on CVF.
I dont know why, but, every time the CVF needs to read the hdd (SeaGate Barracuda 2tb) i have some sort of lag spike and beep that comes from the Mobo, when i remove the hdd the lag and beep vanish.
The Q led going insane when i turn on the mobo, jump one to one and stops on the Boot_Drive (even without the HDD) and gone when windows starts.
The lag is most annoying because it came from nowere expecialy when i play Games and thats is realy bad 😞

I tryied to fix in every possible way you can imagine

-Change cables and sata ports
-Downgrade bios
-Clear cmos
-Tweak bios
-Formating HDD
-Changed the ahci to ide and vice versa (Worked the first time, but no more)
-Drivers updates
-Seagate tools (Perfect HDD no errors at all, but if i boot
-Intaled windows on ssd (kingston 120gb) (conected the hdd only affter installation)

I dont overclock (right now) and only change boot and fans options on bios.
I dont know what to do anymore 😞
If somebody know how to fix this please tell me.
And last thing, why i cant instal windows whit ram at 2133?
Thanks 🙂
