Hey guys.
2 years ago, I built my own computer, and for this specific computer, I purchased a 300gb SATA Western Digital hard drive for it. Everything was fine until now.
Recently when I download from torrents, I get the CRC error. Don't really know much about it but after researching in some forums, it can be said that either the hard drive or my memory is the problem.
I tried defragmenting my hard disk, cleaned the drive, even reformatted and yet sometimes my computer freezes and reacts slowly. I'm not sure how to explain this part but on my CPU, there's this two lights. One light that indicates whether your CPU is on, and the light beside it indicates that your computer is 'loading/reading', basically the second light is the one that occasionally blinks. Sometimes when I use the computer, this 'blinking light' suddenly just wont stop blinking until the light freezes and at the same time, this is where my computer hangs up and after 5 or more minutes, it would be back to normal.
I ran CHKDSK the other day and after 3 hours, the operation was stuck at 75%. What do I do? Is my hard drive dying? Should I buy a new one? I need your opinion guys. Thanks!
