Something causing my computer to freeze up and enter "not responding" state frequently, I think disk space related (help wanted!)

[Salem Graves]

The last couple days I've been having an issue where my computer will freeze up and enter the "not responding" state, no matter what I'm doing, even if I'm just on my desktop with nothing open. I looked in task manager and whenever this is happening, my disk space is capped at 100%, so I assume it's related to that. My disk space usually hits 100% on startup because of my antivirus, but now it's happening a lot and causing my pc to freeze. Just now when trying to make this post earlier, the freeze happened and actually force closed steam. I've run countless virus scans, malwarebytes,avast,avira,adwcleaner, ccleaner, hitman and a variety of other tools found on the malwarebytes site to no avail.. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated, any links or info you need me to provide, just let me know, thanks in advance.
Edit: here's a ♥♥♥ of my what my task manager looks like during a freeze.

Check the health of the HDD with Crystal Disk Info.

Could be a loose cable.

I'll do that, I've added a picture of my task manager during the freeze, if that helps at all.

Your HDD is probably going bad. It's from 2012.

I tried to use that but I'm not sure what I should do, it just shows me Health Status unknown

Ok then.. Meaning it is unable to check the HDDs health.. But doesn't matter, it will probably only confirm what I am already suspecting.

I can't find any tools from Seagate for your HDD so the only thing you can do is replace it with an SSD or HDD since it appears to be at the end of it's life. I highly recommend an SSD.

So no way it's virus related? I lack funds to fix my pc right now :/

You could attempt a reinstallation of Windows but I doubt it will fix the issue.

Download the Media creation tool from the Microsoft website. It can found here[www.microsoft.com]. Then use the media creation tool to download and mount the Windows 10 installation files on a flash drive. Then once the tool is done go in to the BIOS and boot from the flash drive.

I don't have a flashdrive. I have a phone and blank disks, can I use either of those? Sorry, I'm a bit lacking

You can also use a DVD. But you will have to download the .ISO and then burn it. You can use ImgBurn or CDBurnerXP

You can always ask your parents for a flash drive, they cost $5-10 for a 16gb one. They are not as expensive as they used to be.
