Hi guys, this is my second post on tomshardware (after a long while) and
I've come across some peculiar behaviour from my harddrive,
so here is my entire system specs:
Note on OS: I was previously using Win7 64 bit
OS: Windows 10 64x (fresh install)
Harddrive: WD Blue (WDC WD10EZEX-Blahblah)
Ram: 2x8GB Sticks of very standard Trancend Ram @ 1333 mhz
CPU: Intel i5 2400
GPU: AMD R9 270 Gigabyte Windforce
Mobo: Intel DH67CL , a very old mb
Note: The HDD is actually 3 months old and i often leave the pc on overnight for downloads.
The problems i faced were: 1) system freezes in windows and pretty much any other app
2) extreme slow system response
3) white screen flickering in-game
4) (i find this to be the peculiar phenomena) after doing a normal
system restart my os fails to boot and windows startup recovery
pops up. I tried all recovery options, none worked except chkdsk,
which found countless corrupted system files and fixed them,
so my pc was in working condition again...for a while...until it
occured again and chkdsk fixed it...only temporarily this keeps on
happening even now.
What i've tried: 1) changing page file amount (both ways)
2) reinstalling os (so far ive had only freezes and no boot errors)
3) switching ram slots
4) turned off windows search and prefetch which did nothing but slow things down
Important sidenote: There are frequent power faliures (i live in Bangladesh) and my
power backup just died on me so my pc is running directly from the wall and
faces sudden power faliures. Many others run their pcs from the wall
but face no problems but i thought this was worth mentioning anyway.
Screenshot when my pc was literally idle: https://gyazo.com/bcce93c9cabe956cc2bef7c6a8afcbfe
Crystaldisk: https://gyazo.com/d83062e4f6dff240f389b34cb1923ce2
https://gyazo.com/a67c6748de3fc79fcbc93a8ca8a80397 um...does this mean its dying?
Any Help is appreciated,
Thanks in advance.
