Or the psu is struggling ? I need professional help.Thanks guys.

To see if your drives are ok, go to the control pannel, administrative tools and event viewer. There click on System. If you see any warnings or errors and the sourve is Disk, then yup, there are some problems on your HDD. It may not be a physical error. Maybe a format would fix them.

Scan for viruses, make sure you only have 1 version of Java installed...

Let us know how it goes.
