This had happened for the first time almost week ago, and now it happened again.
First time:
-Talking on skype, watching their screen through screen-sharing
-Running a videogame in the background
-Watching a youtube video
Suddenly, the video stops, other websites can't be loaded too (in any browser), I can't re-open firefox after closing it, nothing happens when I press CAD or ctrl+shift+esc. Shut down, Restart buttons from Start menu do nothing, pressing power on the tower does nothing. I can still talk with person on skype and see their screen. PC is fully responsive otherwise (no lag, my game still runs perfectly). I had to hold the power button to force it to shut down.
A friend said it's an HDD fuckup (I have one 2tb HDD, two MBR partitions). I checked it with my defragger and my D partition was at 75% fragmentation because I downloaded some huge files recently and forgot to defrag for a month (don't have it on auto). I defragmented it with Defraggler and forgot about it.
Just now it happened again. I had just my browser open, playing another youtube video. My HDD didn't show any bad sectors about a month ago when I was doing a full checkup due to my other issue (PC randomly freezes about once a month, like somebody put it on pause. No looping sounds or anything).
I will do another sector check overnight, but now I really hope somebody can point me in the right direction!
HDD stats:
Specs:
Last windows event before (possibly at the start of) the problem.
Avast and sharex always runs in the background, if that is of any help. I like to keep my system mostly clean of unneeded processes.
