Download Everest Home Edition.
Start Everest, click Storage, click SMART.

Normally you can see there "Value is normal" and "Always passing".
If you see there an Failure or Error, then the harddisk could be damaged.

hey hey
maybe problem is from your startup !
you need kill them from your start up
Registery address :
HKLM >> Software >> Microsoft >> Windows >> Currentversion >> RUN
and in the right remove the keys if you not want them
NOTE : don't remove windows keys .. just remove softwares
they will not load again in your startup in next reset !
and maybe you have Spywares in your computer ! kill them with :
Microsoft antiSpywares
Ad-Aware is another good choose
Good Luck mate
