Hard Drive Dying?/SSD Slow Boot Time

LiamV123 · 6 May 2016 at 15:12

Every day if I'm listening to tunes on iTunes, every now and again I'll click a song iTunes will frozen more or less and I can hear my drive ticking then it'll stop ticking and the song will play.
Is my HD dying?
My SSD also boots up slow compared to what it use to, tried everything reinstalling Windows 7, tweaking BIOS settings. Nothing works.

Just games and software are on the HDD, no boot up apps are on it. So you think I should buy a new HDD because of the ticking?

Will do, will get the money and buy a new 2TB HDD or maybe larger capacity. Maybe buying a new SSD will fix the slow boot time?

Will do, the SSD issue is a problem on it's own.

I belive my HDD was installed when I installed my OS, but I'm not sure I have a feeling it wasn't. I'll run trim and check to see if my HDD has any MBR data on it as well.
Checked my SSD and HDD, my SSD has partion style MBR and HDD as GPT.
