Hey guys first off i apologize for bad grammar or spelling mistakes i'm writing from my phone.
So the issue is my HDD(or atleast i think that's the problem) seemed to at first RANDOMLY freeze for 2-3 min with task manager showing 100% disk usage even when the highest disk usage process was 0.1mb/s and the LED whould just stay on with blinking after few minutes everything goes back to normal. When this happens if i need to acsess anything HDD related the pc goes basically unresponsive untill it fixes itself but if i d9nt try acsessing HDD info i can still use all open aps or keep my streams running.Now i notice it is not at random because this keeps happening every time i go to a specific place in a game or when i try to run another one those arethe 2 things i managed to find as a constant since yesterday.
I have tried using Windows Defragmenter(Properties.Tools.Optimize and Error check) No errors were found and Optimize said all is good. Then i used Deffragler and Auslogics Disc Defrag Both had showed my C was 30% fragmented and E was 70 so i ran both for fix didnt help. Now i'm running HDD Regenerator will edit post in 2-3 hrs to say if it help but i doubt it. I have also ran Seagate's SeaTools which supports my HDD and the weird thing is the drive passes SMART test but fails DST(drive self test according to Seatools)
Pls help me how to fix it if its even possible or the HDD is basically dying and will give out soon and i need to replace it. I would preffer fixing it because at the moment a new hdd or sdd is not in my budget...
