      from what you have already described, I am quietly confident, you at least need to replaced that drive.

      BUT… as with all things computers, sometimes you either cannot bet 100%, or something from left field will surprise you.

      so yeah, have a crack at backing up your files, formatted the drive and removing all partitions, and reload Windows.
      nothing to lose. (y)
      and that process of installing Windows, the drivers, your software, and your data, will be I/O intensive enough that any short-comings with the drive should show themselves in errors during reloading, or failures when restoring your data.

        I have reinstalled windows with iso file not with installation media did not do anything with partitions so far so good it has not crashed or freezed yet I think that the problem has solved I don’t know about the future nothing has happened so far

              well that pc freezed once but now its completely fine no problem with the freezing although but to boot the pc i need to go to the boot menu most of the time but it boots sometimes itself but the only problem i am having is that my pc is refusing to identify my usb audio card adapter it is a adnet 7.1 cgannel adapter it worked before but it is now not working if theres anything you can do pls tell the things o have done to solve is-
              uninstalling the device from device manager(it is stated in the device manager as unknoiwn usb device)
              then plugging it out and replugging after a while when i replug it the right adapter is installed the hardware starts the driver gets installed the windows shows the device but after 10 sec the hardware stops working and pc doesnt send any audio but the device is still showing in the taskbar
              i have done all the above steps again but with restarting the pc after uninstalling the device

                have you tried the audio adapter in another PC to double check the adapter hasn’t gone pear-shaped?

                show us a picture of the device.
                it is like this one?

                does your PC not have a headphone jack?

                  No it’s not like this one and yes there are 3 jacks in my motherboard I opened a thread about it but after a while the staff member have me a driver designated to the motherboard I guess but at that time I already bought that adapter so I didn’t installed it

                    OK, show us a picture then.
                    does that adapter work else where?
                    why are you using the adapter if the motherboard has the jacks you need?

                      uhmm the motherboard jacks didn’t worked when I tried them so my local computer guy gave me the adapter but it turned out that I just needed the drivers for the motherboard through the manufacturers website the motherboard jacks have started running no issues but the freezing problem has occurred my computer just froze for a minute and when it froze I little sound came just a tiny bit of sound the sound came every time the pc froze but I just didn’t mention it although if I take this to my local computer guy I think all he would do is insert a windows installation media and set my pc to factory settings would it be helpful and also pls tell if I should do it or not and if I should do it then what is the best partitions to create in order to make it fine since the last partitions I had gave no problem and that was just two partitions 50-50% I think I don’t remember correctly

                        if the freezes are back, then I would still be guessing that your hard drive is still the root cause.
                        no good reinstalling Windows again, you have already done that, and while helpful for a while, the PC is still freezing, meaning the underlying problem is still there.
