Do the following:
1. Click Start Menu
2. Type eventvwr into the Search programs and files (do not hit enter)
3. Right click eventvwr and click Run as administrator
4. Expand Windows Logs
5. Check Application logs for re-occurring errors and post the error dialog here.
6. Check System logs for re-occurring errors and post the error dialog here.

An error dialog will look like:

writhziden · 28 Dec 2011

1. Click Start Menu
2. Click All Programs
3. Click Accessories
4. Right Click Command Prompt
5. Click Run as administrator
6. type "chkdsk /f /r" (without quotes) into the command prompt
7. Click Y when asked if you want to schedule the next time your computer starts and hit enter.
8. Restart your computer

The above will take ~1-3 hours to run depending on the size of the disk.

will it gonna fix my problem? i mean i won't gonna have to worry about freezing problem or bad sectors?
lol..sorry for noob questions, but worried cuz of my harddrive?

haider · 28 Dec 2011

"The Type of the System is NTFS
cannot lock current drive."

after that it asked for sheduling and i pressed Y.

Restarting my PC now..

Just want to ask will NTFS drives gonna be a problem for chkdsk command?

writhziden · 28 Dec 2011

It will fix any bad sectors. I won't know if it will fix your freezing problem until you try it.

Nope, it will be able to run. NTFS is standard. It can also fix FAT32.

It is unlikely that you need to buy a new hard drive. If the problem comes back and it is shown in the event viewer logs for system that your hard drive is to blame again, then you might want to consider that the hard drive is going bad. More than likely, it was just a few bad sectors that needed to be swapped in the allocation table, and that happens over time with just about any hard drive. Just keep an eye on it and keep us updated if you have further issues.

You're very welcome for the help, and I am glad you were able to stop the freezing.
