Most probably your hard disk is damaged in some areas and the files on those areas have become corrupt. Therefore, you must do a full format on the hard disk and do a clean install. During formatting, the computer will mark damaged areas of the hard disk as bad and will not use them. Alternatively, if you can do a factory reinstall, that is fine. Factory reinstall always does a full format before installing Windows. CoolGuy

If you install a new hard disk, you will need recovery disk or Windows installation disk. Do you have one ? CoolGuy
