Thank you for replying. I started using Linux recently so don't know much stuff.I tried to check the SMART status as you suggested by following this thread.
https://askubuntu.com/questions/528072/how-can-i-check-the-smart-status- of-a-ssd-or-hdd-on-current-versions-of-ubuntu-1 I wrote the commands: sudo apt-get install gnome-disk-utility sudo apt-get install smartontools In both cases,the system freezed on "Reading package lists....98%" I waited for some time and screen blacked out with a lot of codes on it.I attach the same with this mail. My system also freezes sometimes when I tried to update through Synaptic Package Manager or update drivers. Please help.What should I do next?Should I get a new hard drive?
