Quick question about my HDD

[Kazito]

Hello,

 

I built a Gaming PC a while back and I got brand new parts except for one, my hard drive. I originally built this PC because i had an issue with updating any sort of drivers and not being recognised as an Admin even though I was. When i built my current PC i noticed that I have the exact same issue as my old PC did. I cant update my AMD GPU driver, i cant update my XINPUTt driver when using a controller, things like that. I thought about this for a while and realised that my HDD was the only thing that i didn't change from my old PC, I have a Seagate Barracuda 1TB HDD. I was wondering if this is the reason that I'm having this issue. Is this because of the HDD and if so can  you recommend a good 2TB HDD that i can get that doesent have this issue?

 

Thanks

Run CrystalDiskInfo and see if there is dead sectors on the drive. Did you clean reinstall windows?

Generally if the results came back as "good" you're fine. I think it is under Un-correctable error count or current pending sector.

my result came in as "good" and i got

Current Pending Sector Count - 100 - 100 - 0 

Un-correctable Sector Count - 100 - 100 - 0

Good news and bad news.

Good news, your HDD is healthy, bad: I can't help you.
