What is the hard drive?

Rafael Mestdag · Sep 15, 2015

Greantea :

A 500GB 7200rpm Segate

Dunlop0078 · Sep 15, 2015

Yup something to do with the hard drive especially if its 5400rpm. Open task manager and try to replicate the problem if disc usage goes up to 100% thats your problem.

Bossyfins · Sep 15, 2015

^ It is a 7200RPM, but it could only be a 3/gbs

Can you get a CDI on it?

Your HDD is on its death bed. See where it says "health status"? IT shows critical. It is supposed to say good.

Rafael Mestdag · Sep 15, 2015

Bossyfins :

But what puzzles me is that I've been using this very HDD for at least a couple of years and this problem showed for the first time almost a year and a half and for the most part it's been working fine, it does work fine today at times and at other times it doesn't. Shouldn't the problem be more 'consistent'?

Bossyfins · Sep 15, 2015

Not necessarily. an HDD can begin to fail anytime anywhere. It could be a bad platter or something, not entirely sure, but, either way, the HDD is still in a critical state.
