I use an envy 15, Radeon 7750M HD, 1TB HDD, i7 CPU ..but once in a while, the system freezes, & the "highest active time" on the HDD in the performance monitor goes to 100%. Then from a site i read that it's likely it's a green-fisk that i use. SO i am thinking of changing this. Which is the best HDD??

If the HDD is fine, then why do i have the "highest active time" to be this high with the few programs i'm running??

I will see if the sector thing changes, scan the system and check softwares and then let you know what i find out. Thanks a lot.

I ran a few test, found malwares, did a defrag, and the system is performing better. Thanks for the help.
The pending sector count data still remains 16. Or is there a tool i need to download that can fix this??

I also tried to run the HDD test from the HP diagnostic Utility, but it failed.

SMART passed
Short DST failed ...

Why is this??
