I am not exactly sure where the trouble might start, but lately whenever I upload stuff to YouTube, my PC makes extra sounds. I have an afterburner to see how hot my GPU and CPU are, and it looks fine (high 30s to low 50s). I don't know if the noise comes from the hard drive, the fans working too hard, or the power supply. I just feel lost. My videos are saved on my HDD instead of my SSD. Also, I keep getting buffering when watching Twitch or YouTube while uploading, even though upload and download should be separate. Loading web pages used to be fast for sure so I didn't notice any difference there. This part is causing the problem since forever ago.

They aren't connected yet, but for a download to work, you need an upload that's free too, since messages keep coming back from the server.

So basically when I put files on there using all my internet speed, my download gets slower too. Also I'm not sure if my hard drive is breaking down, because things take longer to open and it makes a lot of noise when I upload (I'm not 100% sure this comes from the HDD).

Also I'm not exactly sure if my hard drive is failing. It feels like taking a longer time to load things and there are more noises when I upload data (I'm not 100% certain about the drive itself). All of my files backed up yet? Should be an ongoing process, but if it isn't, maybe it's too late now anyway. Backup them right this second!
