For an older HDD, it's typical. I'd use Crystal Disk Info to verify the SMART status and ensure the drive is functioning properly.
Problem began about a year ago, but I haven’t used it daily for over a year—mainly just left it on for Plex. Now it’s being needed again as my primary PC for work from home. It’s an SSD, likely around 4–5 years old.
Checked SSD status – looks normal. Disconnected GPU – identical outcome. Tested every RAM option – consistent findings. Running a fresh Windows 10 installation media and performing a clean setup (instead of just restarting).
