Over the past few weeks I've been experiencing "missing DLL" files, "bad image" errrors and constant BSOD problems causing me to reset windows multiple times. I tested all of my parts numerous times with no error, and I tested the drive about 8 times on 4 different times, so basically 32 times. And all of those tests read that the drive was fine. Now I've had my HDD which is a 1TB seagate drive for about 3 and a half years which is about the average life cycle of any standard drive so I wouldn't be surprised if it's failing in disguise, but I figured I'd ask you guys first. Is my drive really failing? Or could it be something else? I've already established that I'm purchasing an SSD within the next few days or so to reinstall windows on that drive and use this drive as just extra storage in the meantime.
P.S. I did get a disk read error a week ago, but I reset windows again and I'm still getting DLL errors and some applications are not functioning.
