Ive had this problem for awhile now but didnt thnk much of it as a hdd wipe and reinstalling windows would solve it temporarily fix it, but i can only leave it in sledp mode and if i hit the shut doen option it screws up and I'd have to reinstall everything. Its like the hdd stops working when i shutdown and turn it back on. No boot screen or anything. I probably need a new hdd but if there are any solutions please say something

The hdd may be damaged find its smart report and see what’s going on. If it is failing replace it with an ssd + hdd combo for speed and storage capacity respectively.

This is my opinion, it doesn't mean I'm right and is liable to change at any time. I may offend of which I apologize in advance.

I might just do this rather than waste my time again

About 2 years old

It's probably damaged, drives don't need to be old to stop functioning properly. You most likely need to buy a new drive. If you have a warranty, you may want to use it.
