Recently, I started to see a strange BIOS screen at startup and after this, my computer sometimes started to freeze. I can't find the root cause of this. Is it a hard drive problem? If it is, should I replace it? My Computer Computer typeLaptopOSWindows 7 Home Premium 64-bit

Is there a Recovery Partition ? Just use that to reinstall Windows. Backup Your Data first.

But sometimes Windows is funny and will only reinstall to the same drive. I would just get a solid state drive and do a clean install, get rid of that hybrid drive.
