    PC Ultra Slow and PC error screen and sad face

    pc started running ultra ultra slow and wouldnโ€™t click on any internet tabs i had open and took ages to load task manager. then just comes up with an error message with sad face and saying your pc ran into a problem and a few more words about error code etc, I guess saying it has to restart? but i cant read the rest as it restarts itself before can see then took agesto load like 10 mins with loading circle just going round then gets to password screen
    then does pc error message and sad face again. reloaded got to password screen again, little bit faster this time but still slow, pressed shift and restart and loaded recovery environment and chose system restore but that just turned screen black for like 20 mins now and iโ€™m right now still waiting for something to happenโ€ฆwhy is this all happening, why did it start going ultra slow and unresponsive, a virus? and how to fix it? can i fix it using another option in the recovery environment?

    Ohโ€ฆ m8โ€ฆ
    I had the same problem for my old pcโ€ฆ
    It seems to be a hdd problemโ€ฆ Iโ€™ve changed that and everything worked fineโ€ฆ
    No virus, no trojan, no nothing. Its just your hdd failing. Try installing a new hdd, an 1 tb hdd costs around 35$ (US). Hopefully it helps
    Youll have to reinstall windows. And DONT throw that hdd away, you can save the data on it by going to an expert.

      Hi Pagi. I would look at swapping out your hard drive and upgrade to an SSD if possible as that upgrade would dramatically improve your systems performance.

      What is your budget for a replacement storage device and what capacity is your current hard drive at?

          Thanks for letting us know. Would you consider this issue resolved or should I recommend you get an SSD so at least youโ€™ll know what to order when you upgrade to one in the future?

              Go with this one, Samsung 860 EVO 1TB 2.5 Inch SATA III Internal SSD (MZ-76E1T0B/AM).
