For a while now I've had some problems with my hard drive. It isn't dying yet according to my SMART, even tho HD Tune says I should keep attention on my Interface CRC Error Count. I don't wheather know if it is a hard drive problem or not, but that's why I'm on this forum. Now let me get into the problem:
I've been struggling with this problem for probably a month or two now. I've been noticing that it takes longer to open programs, files, games, etc... and that my pc lags/stutters while doing some activities. I reinstalled windows, but the problems kept coming back.
So yesterday, I downloaded a program to defrag my hard drive. What I noticed during the defragment process was that my pc was as fast as it used to be before the problems showed up. I had a feeling it was because the hard drive was being used more than usual. I then ran an error scan with HD Tune, and while doing the scan my pc was just as fast as during the defragment. Note that it stops being fast the moment the scan/defrag stops. Does anyone know why my pc becomes fast only during hard drive tests? I don't know a lot about hardware so I'm sorry if I didn't explain it well enough.
I can't give you my full system specs right now, but what I can give is this;
toshiba qosmio f750-117
8GB ram
Intel core I7 @2.00 GHz (4 processors, 4 virtual processors)
Nvidia Geforce GT540M with 2gb dedicated memory
A 620GB hard drive @7200 rpm
Any help appreciated
