Over the last six months or so, I've had computer issues constantly. Normally i can fix it, often something just needs optimizing and things are fixed, but now im having a unusable computer ~once a week. Im out of fixes, and apparently so is google. A friend of mine suggested defragging, then reformatting the hard drive to see if this effected things. It did slightly, There was a slight performance boost but there is still constant lag, freezing and loud noises coming from my computer. from my limited understanding of computers, I clearly don't have malware, which leads me to believe its a hardware issue.
Im currently using an internal hard drive, and was wondering, Should i look at replacing my hard drive, especially due to it being almost 5 years old?
