    So my ps4 froze last week when I putting a ps store into my library, now it hasn't crashed since, but when in menu or gaming, it is having some slight fps drops and stutters, which is weird since I didn't have them before, already rebuilded database but didn't help, is this a sign of harddrive failure or something else?

    My pc keeps restarting
    Is that from the hard disk ?

    My File Explorer won't even show anything after one or two tries, and the green "load bar" at the top goes snail slow. I've tried everything, but I think it's a failing hard drive. It's strange, I can still access some folders, but it shows incomplete icons and won't allow me to open some of them, and none of the folders show any icons either. I can also access them when I'm uploading something to a forum or website, like a picture, but I can't go into File Explorer and find that picture. And my internet still works.

    Probably a failing hard drive. 🙁

    If you only write chkdsk, it will only look for error in read-mode. Then, you will do the other option. I think it is the safest way to check the disk. There are report on how harmful it can be if too many bad sectors, thus data loss.

    Hard Drive has been freezing my computer for months until I figured out that was the problem (Living nightmare) But I’m transferring to an SSD.

    my hard disk corrupted and i can't check how much space it has and when i press it my file explore doesn't respond It also makes some of my apps unusable and i can't load the search bar or cmd anymore. Its like it wrecked something on my primary drive and corrupted some stuff on there too. Idk whats happening and even some of the windows programs are unusable like disk management task manager and some other important stuff

    *Does this apply to the server's hard drive? and does a server hard drive run on a computer?

    When trying to install windows it won't boot and I have tried any solution. It gives me the "cynical data redundancy"? Is it any reason?
