So...while I was able to fix my issue with my hard drive (turns out the fan controller was drawing so much it was causing my hard drive to have a stroke), I will say the fix was so simple and stupid and my hands are covered in scrapes because of how the guys did it when I had ordered the computer.
Now I can't get the side of the case back on since the fan cables are unable to be freed from their ziptie prison, as the prison is so tight I can't even cut it without damaging the cables. Thanks CLX! ):<
