Mao cge og ungot/freeze kay tungod 100% pirme ang Disk Usage. Even if wala kay application nga gi open 100% Disk Usage ghapon? Basin virus na, try to run a virus scan, perform clean boot- disable any unnecessary 3rd party applications, startup items, disk cleanup, etc. .if mao ghapon, clean install your Windows OS/ reformat tanan. .

If mo ungot/freeze ghapon after clean install, it's time to buy a new HDD, .check first the warranty of your HDD sa manufacturer's website since 2 years pman ni nmu imong laptop. .

Also, try to listen your HDD if naa bay clicking noise. .

Try gamit maLwarebytes. Dugay ni mahuman og scan ning mananapa pero most of the time effective.

ikaw nay ga diagnose na naay weak sectors, its possible naa dha na dugay kaayo nabasa mao stuck na at high hdd usage bisag way app g open. consider replacing it, or if you wanna waste time run a read/write wipe or low-level format

unsaon nang read/write wipe or level-level format bro?


ako gamit pag diagnose bro kay hdd sentinel ra, nd hopefull ko nga pwede ra ni maremdyohan unta kay wala pa jud ko budget mg ilis ug hdd.

wa kai choice. backup your important data. anyways kung mag read/write test ka DESTRUCTIVE procedure na so erase ang data, but its possible mawala na imo weak sectors(assuming communication errors ra ni), and kana imo bad sector ma relocate/replace sa reserve sectors. pwede sya sa HDD Sentinel, adto disk > surface test, naa dha read/write(destructive)test, kana isa read/write non-destructive mas dugay na procedure na. dugay kaayo na na procedure ang 500 gb nako before dagan minimum 2 hours(estimate) and need another hdd with OS and hdd sentinel installed.

IMHO lang ni and assuming all troubleshooting methods are done already.
