First of all thank you for taking your time to read this.
I'm new here and this is my first time ever posting. I will try to make this brief and on point.
I've had problems with my system for quite sometime now. At first it was just a few Chrome crashes. But it got worse after that.
My system crashed every time I played a game.
Even for AoE(Age of empires).Later I found out my CPU usage was high due to svchost. So I corrected that.
But still the problem persisted. So I ran sfc(System File Checker). It found some corrupt system files and so I repaired the OS by partially re-installing windows. Now all is said and done, my system was fine for a couple of days. No crashes and such.
And now again, my system started crashing.
I thought I could find out what was causing it by using the bug reports
So I used this program called WhoCrashes. Turns out, the bug reports are not getting saved in my PC. (Whole other problem, let's not get into that for now)
So I manually crashed my PC by playing Dota 2. I went to the Event Viewer and checked the system log for any event recording. It said and I quote "System rebooted unexpectedly"
That wasn't much of use. So I played AoE for a while and as expected, there was a crash.
This time, the log read as "The device, \Device\Harddisk0\DR0, has a bad block"
It's obvious the hard disk was causing the problem, so I ran CHKDSK to fix any bad sectors but to my vain, it got stuck on stage 4 out of 5
Hence, I downloaded Windows Surface Scanner and ran it. And as soon as it began, it reported errors frequently.
All the errors were "Data Error(Cyclic redundancy check)
Checked the Event Viewer for log files and this time as well , the log read as "The device, \Device\Harddisk0\DR0, has a bad block"
I've tried almost everything and I'm really desperate for a solution. So if you guys could help me out, I'd be really grateful. Is my hard disk failing? Is it causing crashes or is there something else that is wrong with my system? How can I fix the bad sectors and to make windows stay away from them?
System Information :
Windows 7 Professional Edition
6GB Ram DDR3
Nvidia 8400GE(Yeah, it's old >.>")
Intel core 2 duo E7500 clocked at 2.93 Ghz
Motherboard model - G41MTES2L
Crash :
This is not a typical Blue Screen of Death Situation.
My screen goes black and there's this buzz sound stuck on a loop and my monitor doesn't receive the input signal after the crash.
I have to restart it everytime.
Additional Information :
My rig is some 5 years old. Now please don't go suggesting to get me a new PC. Because I cannot afford it at this time.
Ran Nortan Utilies to defragment my C drive alone. Because it showed that 50% of my drive was cluttered.
Oh and I am cleaning the insides of my PC tomorrow.
I will provide any and all information required to solve this. Just please help me find a solution.
