Hard Disk

[andreaschar90]

Hi there,

I am facing a problem with my hard disk. To be more specific sometimes, when I open a file which is on that hard disk, it delays to open and I can listen though the hard disk when starts. Also, sometimes when I start up the computer, it says that "hard disk does not found". Another thing, is that on the bottom bar as notification says that the graphic's card drivers are missing and I am sure that I installed them a month ago when I formatted the computer.
Which part of the computer may be faulty? (motherboard, graphic card, hard disk, or ram?)
ANY IDEAS WOULD BE MORE THAN WELCOME.
Thank you in advance

I'd reinstall windows tbh

It is the second time that I re-install the windows, because I had the same problems.

probably your hdd, maybe you have bad sectors, run check disk and find out.

ps, probably should have posted this in the "storage drives" thread

I though so but it is the hard disk problem so I posted it here.but i will post it in the storage drivers as well

if it comes back clean try a clean install of your OS and download all the latest drivers if it comes back bad buy a new one and do a clean install of your OS and download all the latest drivers

The check disk is to see if there is a problem with the drive, as people have suggested this is the problem. If the drive seems to be fine, maybe that will narrow down where the problem can be.

If it's a recurring problem that's carried on through more than one Windows installation, why bother running chkdsk? Just download the manufacturer's diagnostics suite [eg) Seatools] and run that. It sounds as if the hard drive is on the way out to be honest.

What drive do you have?

western digital caviar black 500gb, sata 2

In that case I would replace the hard disk and try again.

I'm not sure what the western digital diagnostic suite is. But I'd find that on their site and run it. And start shopping for a new drive to be honest.
