Hi guys, Currently i'm experiencing some problems with my computer in which i think it's a hard drive issue. If you guys think otherwise it would help me a lot to figure out what the real cause of this problem is. It is one that has me baffled for a few weeks now i been researching and came up with some answers but i would like to make sure. My computer for weeks has been hanging non stop. For example programs will not respond and things pop up saying this is not responding do you want to end. The hangs occur at random times and for about 1-3 mins. It very frustrating to to anything because of the hangs. Even Google chrome does not respond. I have tried many different browsers all had the same outcome. So slowly i thought it might be a RAM issue but since my CPU never reaches about 60% even while playing games. I also thought it could be a hard drive issue because my activity time is constantly 100% even when my brothers computer and my fathers computer never stay that high for more than a second. After a week or so i thought i could fix it by restoring my labtop to factory default so i did that but the problem still persisted so now i think it is a hardware issue but i don't know which it is my hard drive or RAM or neither of them. Is there some sort of test where i could totally isolate the problem? This happens with games too. I even tried game booster to see if i was short on memory but it had very little effect or if any at all.
Currently i have a HP Dv6 Pavillion labtop for about 3 years now and i my hard drive file type is NFTS. Also i currently have no viruses i scanned and no malware slowing my computer down.
Thanks,
Chris
