I used to play Wolfenstein: The New Order(2014) in highest graphics very smoothly with no lags, then i uninstalled it and after a month or so i reinstalled it and the lag was too much.How could a game that ran very smoothly a few days ago start lagging suddenly. And now other games were also lagging.Then i observed that my copying speed has also reduced to a great extent so i decided to do a hdd scan with hdtune pro and got these results



Please help me with this. I don't understand what's going on with my laptop.

it seems you hard drive develop a bad sector. try running seagate's seetools. i would advise to replace the drive asap. it's starting to fail.

I showed it in a shop today and the person said that there is nothing wrong with the hard drive(I didn't tell him about any of these results with hd tune in case he just says yes you have a bad hdd and it needs to be replaced without even performing any test). He has asked me to leave the laptop at the shop for one day so that he'll perform windows recovery and other tests. I doubt that he'll just recover the window and tell me that everything's fine.What should i do at the time he give me my laptop back? should i do hd tune test in front of him and tell him if the result shown above still persists? or can hd tune give false results too?

Your drive is very sick. It could be that high operating temperatures are partly to blame. In fact the maximum temperature experienced by the drive is 55C.

The number of reallocation events (129682242541517) is actually a lot less than is reported by HD Tune.

129682242541517 (decimal) = 0x75F2000017CD (hexadecimal)

The actual number of events is 0x17CD (= 6093 decimal). That's still a lot. I would replace the drive.
