Hello guys, my computer is always trying to run check disk when it starts up. I run microsoft security essentials and malwarebytes, and nothing found. I've been trying to boot in safe mood but no luck. do i need a new hard drive?

Hard Drive is probably dying.

Sometimes formating will exclude bad sectors and you can get a little extra life out of it. You will have to reinstall windows.

And if it continues to occur after that, definitely time to replace the hard drive.

thanks matt. I'm thinking about buying a new hard drive and getting windows 8 instead of 7, which is on the computer right now
