Harddrive problems.

[Godisbiten]

Hey so i started my computer this morning and i noticed that it was slow. It freezed in starting windows for about 20 minutes and then it just started. Do anybody know why? the harddrive it self is about 2 months old so i don't think it's crashed.

 

Thanks -Godisbiten

What harddrive do you use?

Do a virus scan with malwarebytes or something.

Try defragmenting.

Check the status of your HDD.

Love those drives. Really reliable. 

 

I used "Defraggler" to check for hard drive faults once, as it turns out the drive actually had broken sectors. This wasn't really a huge tragedy since the drive has a couple of backup sectors to use in this situation but that meant the drive was not trustworthy to use on long term. 

That pc was also having the same symptoms as yours.

 

I'd recommend downloading Defraggler from the official website to check your drive status.

i am currently doing a virus scan to see if it is something like that, i'll try defraggler after it. Thanks for the help

No problem. Just report back when you found a solution.

try disk cleanup, scan for anything and defragmenting your HDD.
