HDD Failure? Or Windows problem?

[Fatelinha]

Hi guys!

 

So, my setup is getting a bit old and the HDD is showing signs of failure I believe... It is a Seagate Barracuda ST3160815AS 160GB 7200 RPM 8MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive. The problem 1st started a few days back when I was installing a new game and suddently it crashed, gave me a blue screen (Windows 10) saying memory management problem or something. The when it restarted I got the windows 0xc0000020 error because of some .dlls so I tried DISM stuff (googled it) and because it didn't work I reinstalled windows keeping my apps and files.

 

It all went good for a few hours but when I tried to install the game from the beggining the HDD would do a "startup" noise and the read/write would drop to 0Mb/s and then, after a few seconds, it would start to write again for a moment and drop to 0Mb/s again... it did this over and over until I got another Blue Screen saying memory management again... only this time when I rebooted  I didn't receive the .dll error...

I ran the windows HDD diagnose tool and it said it was all good...

So can you tell if my drive is faulty? 

EDIT: The HDD temp was always around 40ºC and usage was 70-80%

Is this your boot drive?

 

If not run a full disk error check in something like hddtune
