Everytime I play some game like Overwatch, Killing Floor 2, Battlerite, League of legends, etc... the game freezes and after a while it crashes. Also rarely my computer is lagging even on desktop and then freezes. I installed another OS, I was on win 7 now I got win 10, problem's the same, I also cleaned up the computer and still no results. Any ideas?

P.S: Recently it started lagging from the start up screen, but after a reset it comes back to normal.

specs: CPU : Intel i5-3350P 3.10GHz
GPU: Nvidia Gefore GTX 650 1 GB x64
Motherboard: Asrock H61M-VG3 M80-38016901099
RAM: 6 GB DDR3
OS: Windows 10 x64
HDD: Standard Disk Model ST1000DM003-1CH162 1TB

There are many things that can do this, but I always suspect hard drive.

One way that hard drives fail is to try to access a section of the disk, and try, and try and try. This shows as your computer freezing as it waits for the hard drive to respond.

Good advice at any time but PARTICULARLY now:

Back up your files. DO IT NOW.

Then, if possible, upgrade to an SSD and see if your system still has a problem. Use your old hard drive as storage.

I did windows memory diagnostic then checked the event log and they both came out negative. So I don't think the problem is from RAM sticks

How can I verify if the Hardrive is the problem?
