I've encounter this problem for a long time

-My laptop had a lot of problems such as programs not responding, all goes hang except cursor, only taskbar hang, etc
-Some times ago I got BSOD that says kernel_data_inpage_error
-After the laptop restart, it goes BSOD again and restart again, and again
-Reinstall with Windows 7, seems fine and fast for a short period of time, after that same problems come again, goes BSOD and restarts
-Then I reinstall with Windows 8.1, likewise, the problems occur but not frequently
-After more like 2 weeks from the day reinstall, BSOD comes again, my computer stuck after startup
-I'm using bootable USB to repair my computer
-Refresh PC is not working....it says not work correctly or something like that
-Tried out Startup Repair, the result almost the same, still nothing work
-Used Restore point, now it just hang on Windows 8 startup logo
-Wanted to reinstall the laptop with Windows 7, stuck on Setup is starting

Is there any solution to this problem? Thanks in advance, sorry if there any grammar mistakes.

no software caused this- hard disk failures are very common on laptops, when I buy new laptops I immediately change the spinning disks out for SSDs.

You should immediately backup your data and perhaps take the opportunity to install an SSD

I think you have a hardware problem, the two major issues with laptops are the cooling blowers getting plugged with dust and the hard drive developing bad sectors. Given that your paging file is suddenly becoming a problem, I suspect the hard disk

If it were me, I'd remove the drive (because your laptop isn't booting) and attach it to another system and read the SMART table for any problems there first. I'd take that opportunity to pull any data off that needs to be saved and back it up.

I don't know what else to say because we need the MAKE MODEL AND CONFIGURATION of your laptop before I can comment.

I'd take choose to format and reinstall my windows since my files has been put on second partition because of unexpected incident like this

After all setup has been passed, the performance seems good but drivers such as display and sound weren't detect properly, the resolution can't be change and mute can't be unmute.
I left my laptop for some hours, fell asleep. After I woke up the drivers has been load, but I've seen the performance drop for a bit.
Before sleep, if I open chrome, its just run fine and smooth. Opening new tab just smooth, there's no major lag.
After sleep, the performance dropped. The cursor sometimes lag when I want to do some tasks. Opening new tab will cause hang for a while and loading Google logo and recent visited page is slow.

I don't have any other machine to test out my hard drive.

P/S : -I noticed that if I left my laptop turned off for a long of time, the performance dropped drastically. Usually I left my laptop turned off for 5-9hours, its just fine....but, if I left it for 14hours+ the performance is drop.

Found out that there are 369 bad sectors, hd sentinel says based on number of remapping operation, the bad sectors form continuous area.
There also 69 weak sectors, they may remapped any time in the later use of the disk.
Problems occurred between the communication of the disk and the host 130 times.
Estimated remaining lifetime : 9 days
Health : 8%
...
Does this meant my hard drive can't be survive anymore?
Do I need to replace my hard drive?
Is there any other hardware that can cause conflict with hard disk to have this problem?
