Quick Update (My new computer is also sick, but not to worry.)
Added 2019-10-31 13:28:15 +0000 UTCMy new PC is unable to render!
(Don't worry, my old one is rendering away, and the new already has parts on the way!)
It is the hard drive, its still working, but it is OLD, I kept it and used it to save money, because I had none to spare at the time. But it had been sitting for years, and was not healthy when I last replaced it with another.
So I probably should have seen this coming.
(Come to think, how old is it? I'm not sure, but I think its more then 5 years.)
But now the hard drive is just struggling so much, I will need to replace it, but I can now afford to, thanks to you lovey people.
So I have ordered the new hard drive and will get it installed as soon as possible.
Thanks for all your support!

Hmm, maybe SSD's for my PC's would not be so bad. I'll look into getting some for sure, cheers!

2019-11-02 08:13:16 +0000 UTCeven if it doesnt do anything for your rendering, even just an ssd to boot from is a 100% worth investment, literally from powered off to login in under 10 seconds you can probably get one @250gb (aprox. 220 free after putting the OS on it) for about $100 or less and you can install any programs (or games) you use frequently, personally it's been a fantastic return on investment for me and would highly recommend it. Edit: scratch that they're up to 500gb for under $100, incredibly worth it.
