Need help:( computer freezing issue

[Arun]

My computer started to freeze every once in few minutes when i am doing a certain task like gaming or watching videos in vlc player etc

and when i check the task manager it shows 100% disk usage

these 100% disk usage periods occurs like spikes(just for a few seconds  and go away)(usually 5-6 seconds) 

it will resume normal fucntion after this disk usage reduces back to normal values(20-30%)

These things just started recently , a month ago i had no issue playing the same games or watching videos

my pc froze even during writing this topic:(

Note:i cleaned my pc recently and reapplied  thermal compound on my cpu heatsink

 

is my hard disk in a bad condition ?

(seagate 2tb model)

yea i have heard segate disks are trash and they corrupt quicker than other brands

If anything, I would suggest that you purchase an SSD to put your operating system on,  then keep your 2tb hard disk drive

to store all your files on. Solid state drives have longer life-spans than HDDs

If I would to guess. Its either RAM or HDD failing. Do you get freezing or long loading times when accessing files? Thats one sure sign of HDD failure.
