Need a little help!!

[Datguyjames]

So I am having an issue with a custom pc that went from a workstation, to beginner gaming rig, It was running super well and then all of the sudden, the hard drive i have kept making noise like it was constantly restarting itself, gaming would lag out, and now i cant even keep it running on normal chrome browsing. I need to know if this is what could be causing this, if that's the case, I have a new SSD that i can install. The error i keep getting is memory failure, so i checked the ram, totally fine, the only thing I didn't run a check on was the hard drive, just looking for some insight to see if this is the problem! :)

 

Build:

Converted Lenovo H520

Intel core i3 3240

MSi GTX 1060 3GB

6GB DDR3 Ram

1tb Western Digital HDD 5400rpm

Runs most games on high 1080p 60fps easy, some on ultra at 1080p 60fps

Run memtest64 if there is no errors than most likely it’s a hdd causing all this problems, especially that you mentioned it start to be loud and making weird noises.
