I was looking at this one: http://www.pcgarage.ro/hdd-notebook/seagate/laptop-thin-hdd-500gb-7200rpm-32mb-sata-iii/. Same capacity better rpms, and the price is not that bad(it's in the romanian currency, in USD: 61$). Is it compatible with my laptop?

Well I purchased a copy of HD Sentinel. And apparently my HDD health is critical: 9%; with a estimated lifetime of 11 days. I suppose this mean that I should seek to replace the HDD as soon as possible? And if so, could you recommend me some cheap->mid-range HDDs,SSHDs,SSDs?

I will get on it then, thank you :D. Will come back with better results.

Did it with command prompt, the disk status is OK.

Could you please explain me how can I check it's status?

Health status on all drivers are GOOD :D

Firstly I apologise for being so late on answering. Secondly, I'd like to know where can I find older versions of my drivers, as the official sites either confuse me or just don't display older versions for my configuration. As for tasks, Ttask Manager hasn't found anything out of the ordinary...

It's an Acer Aspire :D , sorry for the confusion created. Well I made 3 tests while monitoring temperatures, clocks and overall performance. These were the results, software used in each reading is written in ( ). Idle Process Test CPU(HW Monitor) Cores(# 0->3) Temp: Min: 42 C Max: 59 C Curent...

Hello, I've been having some problems with my laptop: it was running too slow for it's hardware specs, Win7 starting with difficulties(after signing in on my Win7 user it would lead to a black screen and after a phew seconds it would load my Desktop), FPS drops in video games that were quite...
