I have been experiencing low fps lately in some game were i would usually be getting 60 im getting 10-40 instead. my hard drive has been making a crunchy crackling noise for about 3 months i know this means its dying but could it be the cause of my low FPS?

It could but it would cause it only as the response time would be slowed i would replace that drive asap because its on deaths door. I would check your graphics card as well just to be sure. Its hard to tell from here but it could well be due to slower response time within the directorys.
