Solved computer went from fine, to horrible in minutes

[Skits559]

Hi forum, so my computer has been awsome for alot of years now, no problemas, but all of a sudden after start up, I cant do anything, the farthest I can get is opening file exploror, but if I try to go into hard drive properties to defrag my had drive (because I heard that would solve this issue) I cant even make it that far... I really hope someone has some good info as to how to fix this issue without havig to by a new hard drive/take my computter in? And questions or further info u need just ask please and thanks!

I think you already know the prime suspect: the hard drive.

The first step is to run a diagnostic test on your drive. If available, use the one from your HDD's manufacturer. Also (obviously) you want to run a test from bootable media (CD), since it doesn't make a lot of sense to test a drive from a program running on the drive.

I cant even get anythig to work, imnuaing my tab to get on the net, my pc doesnt load anything no more I cant boot up Ina safe mode or somthing to bypass thr extream slowness for a while?

Your first post indicates you can boot and start Windows, getting all the way to the desktop.
Your second post is confusing.

If the PC can boot you can run the diagnostic software from a boot CD.

To get to Safe Mode, press F8 as the PC starts up and choose it from the Advanced Boot Options menu.

It boots up fine, I have no cd what so ever sadly, I get to the windows easily right after I inter my password, and right whwn windows starts up its basicly impossible to go any further from there, cant search threw my fikes, cant open the internet, cant really do anything sorry if I left things out earlyer but that is what I met

Have you tried Safe Mode yet?

 

[Skits559]

Is there another word for safe mode, its not displayig an option for safe mode in the beggining of start up

Preliminary indications are that the HDD is dying. As suggested, backup any important data you may have and look immediately into replacing the HDD as soon as possible.

Wow really? No way in fixing this myself what so ever?

 

[King Arthur]

HDDs are highly complex, precision electronic devices. Even skilled technicians can't truly "repair" a drive, most of the time what HDD data recovery technicians do is transplant the disk platters (the thing that physically holds the data) into a working HDD so the data can be recovered onto a new HDD.

So in short, no, there's nothing you can do to repair the HDD yourself unfortunately. The best you can do is to backup any important data if you haven't already and then replace the dying HDD with a new one.
