Today I built my computer and the hard drive I used was refurbished. After installing windows I noticed my pc was very slow and I couldn't install apps. After running a test with WD tool it showed the error in the pic I attached. The weird thing is chkdsk doesn't detect any errors or bad sectors and the smart status says pass on wd tool but it can't complete a quick test without displaying said error. I am afraid its a problem with the motherboard not the HDD

Checkdisk is for detecting file system errors not drive related issues (mechanical). Use SeaTools and run a surface scan.

I tried to run seatools but everytime I try to launch the app the disk usage spikes to 100 without any process using it and the app appears as suspended.
