Hey guys, I need an educated guess on what might be wrong with my computer...

A few weeks ago it started freezing if I went on the internet using Google chrome, Internet Explorer, or Firefox. It would be fine at first, then just freeze out of nowhere a few minutes in. So I started using an optimizer more often as well as doing a full disk cleanup and it would make the problem go away for a few days, then it would come back, and I'd just do it again.

Now it has been crashing without being on the internet and the optimizer/disk cleanup strategy has become less and less effective. Sometimes it freezes, other times it blue screens and says "Critical process error".

I've been told that it could be a failing hard drive, but before I go ahead and spend money on a new one I'd like to hear other opinions/ideas.

I've read that hard drive problems are usually coincided with loud clicking sounds, which I haven't heard. This is why I'm apprehensive about purchasing a new hard drive without further opinion.

You don't need sounds. My old failing drive never made any special ones.

Motherfucker, install linux on USB pendrive and check out
a) RAM using memtest
b) HDD SMART using gnome-disk-utility

Don't boot into windows when your drive is failing you double nigger.

Data rescue procedure depends on how fucked is your drive. If you are in the US I can only help you if you have a couple of bad sectors.
