I am tired of installing new windows each month to keep my pc running smoothly. After fresh window installation PC keeps running smooth for 2 3 days than it takes a lot of time to open apps like mozila firefox, chrome, kmplayer and other basic apps
Currently I am using windows 10 Home on Intel pentium G630 and 6Gb of Ram.
One thing that always annoy me is that hard disk indicator keeps blinking and hard disk giving sounds like it is loading data despite running the PC in idle state.
I have checked the hard disk and found no bad sectors.
Is there anyway to fix the above mentioned problems or do I need to buy a new system?
Please keep in mind that I do not play any games on this PC.

Get a new hard drive. Mechanical HDDs deteriorate with time with or without bad sectors. My guess is that your HDD gets busy indexing files a few days after the Windows installation as new files get installed. But the age of your HDD is making it difficult for it to do that.

The HDD is a commonly overlooked component of a PC. The truth is, you can have the best processors and huge RAM capacities, but if your HDD has got problems, your PC will never be able to perform at full capacity.

its is legal in Pakistan as is everything else lol....chalo lets put it this way theoretically how would they behave if the pc is also used for downloading torrents ...cause my brush with ssds was really bad back in 2013 ..bought two crucial ssds 250 gb and both of them died in like 3 months and there was a lot of load shedding during those days aswell

Whenever I turn on my pc it usually takes 3 to 5 minutes to start working properly after booting into windows. Hard disk usage remains at 100 percent during this time. After 5 mins it starts working normally but as soon as I try to open browser or any other app hard disk usage again reaches at 100 percent for 1 or 2 minutes.
Is it a virus or hard disk needs a replacement? I have scanned my entire hard disk with avast but no virus detected. What is autorun.inf? I have a folder named autorun.inf in every drive.

    About the Microsoft (and Sony) debate, I feel both have become too greedy and losing their minds over corporate greed. Personally, I will never buy any console next gen and switch to PC gaming where democracy reins.

    did you try setting up Google Payments? For UBL you may have to get it enabled for internet transactions, Naya should work without it!

    I tried both NayaPay, and UBL, but I keep getting "correct country selected..." error. I already have PK set there 🤦‍♂️

    Nope. They have a very valid case. The above video explains it all.

    Meanwhile Ghost of Tsushima PC version is out now. Looks 100 times better than ASS Creed already.

    Did y'all see the new Assassin's Creed trailer? They finally made a AC set in Japan & then they put a negro as the male protagonist. Ubisoft is taking cues from Disney, and it isn't gonna end well for them, just like Disney. Go woke, go broke!
