I'm have problems with my pc. First, about winrar. After installing it for about 1 hour, when I run it again, it says not valid win32 software or that kid of thing. Second, Many programs I've installed, They simply can't launch, even steam client! I know you guys may ask for screenshots but my pc is THAI language so I don't think you guys would understand. I hate this man.

Here are what I've done:

Scan for Virus and get rid of. (Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, Usbfix, RegCure Pro etc.)
Restart PC.
Delete Crap.

Please Help!

I though I need a new harddrive, maybe this one is old. I think it's more than 6 years.

I love to make games

Yes could be a bad hard drive or bad virus. Reinstall windows and see if it's better.

For the same problem? Then it could be the hard drive, motherboard, ram, cpu or psu. This is because all of those parts are very important for writing the correct information to the hard drive. You can test everything except the hard drive all at the same time with this program:

Run this for a few hours, if you see no problems, it's probably a bad hard drive, but could still be a bad motherboard. Hard drive is better to replace because it's more likely if you pass this test.

Which one should I download? By the way, I've removed the Video Card 'cause its broken. And my CPU also have a video card inside (I think it's AMD Radeon HD 6770D).

I'm with bitJericho, definitely sounds like a faulty hard drive, or a bad virus.

Did you reinstall Windows last month for this same problem, or another?

Is your copy of Windows genuine? If so, my money's on the hard drive.

Umm just asking but which Windows edition is it? And as above... is it a legitimate copy...

How much RAM do you have installed and is it all accounted for?
How much available memory does Task Manager show?
Try turning off hard drive page filing... maybe the hard drive is struggling to cache in time etc....

A cheap fix would be to grab a spare Hard Disk from a friend if possible to diagnose that scenario, provided this was possible...

If you could detail your system specifications more, it may help too...

Yes and no. I meant how do you not know if something is an SSD or not in your computer?

EDIT: I don't mean to sound rude it just surprises me you don't know if your hard drive is an SSD or not.

Based on its size I would guess it to either an oddly allocated SSD, or a small-capacity hard drive (about 180GB). Is it possible you can look in your computer and take pictures so we can see?

I wouldn't know whether something was SSD or not in mine either - but I'd guess it isn't. I'm only interested in a machine that works - what goes on inside is a complete mystery to me. I guess TodeGamer is the same.

Haha true, sorry I didn't mean to come off as rude or anything like that, in my edit in my last post I said it was just surprising to me.

My mother is the same way, doesn't care what the insides do, she just wants it to work. She hates Windows 8 with a passion too

This or show us the list of Hard Disks in Device manager... if you can figure out how without us making or finding a guide for you ^^

EDIT

Re-reading your post,

Yeah it could be a crappy individual drive... or a divided drive partition... man could even be PATA cable based 133 drives

I think you need to open it up, but if you are not sure...

OOOOH BOY the amount of dust that will be in there LOL
