Question Clean windows build keeps lagging & black screening

[tarogmats]

Did a new build with some parts I had from an older build and some new ones, and the system ran fine at first for a few days played some not so intensive games, fiddled with photoshop, then it just started to give me a black screen with nothing but a cursor.

The system specs are:

Old Parts -
Ryzen 5 1600
my trusty GTX 750ti
1 TB WD Blue HDD

New Parts
EVGA 600 PSU
Kingston HyperX Fury 16GB
ASUS B450M-AII mobo

For a little more into the issue, it started after the PC had been shut down and the next time it was turned on, it just went to a black screen with nothing but a cursor, after restarting to see if that'd rectify the issue, [issue A] the system would take long to load at the ASUS screen, then afterwards cycle into a black screen with the circling dots, then hang there or sometimes get to the screen but remain blank.
I figured it was a windows update that went bad so I wiped the whole system, did a fresh install of windows 10, got in and disabled windows updates and the system ran for less 24 hours, and then it just started lagging out.

What I found weird though, was that the windows processes would lag, but I could still use firefox during the period, or other 3rd part apps. Like, as the system was "Frozen" I was still able to browse in firefox, open new tabs, input netflix information, stuff like that.
Then suddenly the whole screen went black and just the cursor remained, I could move it around and everything, and when I hit ctrl+alt+delete to bring up the task manager it said "preparing security options" but took way too long imo. So I just hit the power button and restarted and ended back up at - ISSUE A - and I just turned off the system.

Just wondering or hoping that anyone has any input as to what the issue could be.

Personally I'm wondering if it is really a hardware issue as I can access the bios just fine, boot menus and everything but from the minute it tries to do anything windows related, boom, problems. So I'm thinking either a software or bios issue, or maybe RAM or a failing HDD? Just what I'm thinking.
Open to all advice, and any assistance.


so the computer came on after having it off since i posted but everything is running laggy when it comes to windows processes, but 3rd party apps still work.
Checked the event viewer, and it shows a string a literal plethora of "Hard Drive 0 has bad blocks" error messages.
Could it be the HDD?

BIOS up to date?

You also may have corrupted windows.
Run cmd as admin. Type SFC /scannow

It certainly could be the hard drive especially if the logs are telling you that it is

alright, the windows chkdsk said the drive was fine, crystaldisk said "Caution" and the WD drive manager's "quick scan" was approaching two hours before I decided to shut down. So I'm gonna swap out the drive now, and still check windows to be on the safe side.

update

Swapped out the drive for a new one, system seems more stable now, a lot less lag and no issues so far.
