Hard Drive Failure?
Hello so yesterday I found that when I booted my computer it would freeze after I logged into windows. I ran it in safe mode and found that when I changed the start up items I could reach the desktop. The last program I downloaded was Microsoft Office for school so I got rid of it. After playing around a bit I found that Steam would cause my computer to freeze as soon as I launched it. I thought okay just Steam is acting weird so I tried to download Microsoft Office again but it would not download after 30 minutes. So now I believe that my hard drive is breaking or corrupt. I ran the performance monitor related to the above but I really don't know how to interpret it. So my question is what else can I do? And if my hard drive has failed what hard drive should I buy that would be compatible with my current setup and be relatively inexpensive. Thank you for looking at this thread. I attached the system monitor info.
Edit...the system health report only saves for html for me. This is the first part.
