Can you download programs?

[Download AVG Free Edition 8.0.173 - FileHippo.com](Antivirus software for Windows at Filehippo)

Download, install, and run it.

If not,

[Download IBM - Hitachi Drive Fitness Test 4.14 - Quick, reliable method to test SCSI and IDE hard disk drives - Softpedia](WinDFT (HGST Drive Fitness Test) - Download)

download and put it onto a CD and boot from it. I would check with [HelpOnThe.Net: Tech Support Guy - Free help for Windows XP, Vista, 98, and more!](http://www.techguy.com). Register and post your question in Software.

edit: First go to techguy, and if nothing, do the fitness test.
