Complete freeze with PC Shutdown

hey, just curious. how old is your hard drive. it could be an old hard drive acting up. what are your pc specs… my hdd was 6 years old and started doing things like it would run perfectly fine and normal and then outta no where it would do anyone of these things at random, it started freezing , stuttering/lagging , and rendering stuff was really bad. sometimes none of that would happen but after about 3-5 hours of game play, every time it would stutter really while not rendering textures and buildings. then id re start the game and it’d work great again and smooth until i hit 3-5 hours again. i bought a new hdd and ssd and it fixed all of these issues. also this was happening in other games i was playing, wich lead me to think it was a hdd issue ( they were original from when i had this pc built in 2012) .

I had 3 of my 4 old HDD fail on me and my mobo went bad too… before I got the game. an they were over 5years old.
Used the remaining one and added 2 SSD. So ya the drives could be going south on ya.

dude for like a year i thought this game(WOT) i played was lagging .its and online game. i thought it was my router or an internet setting for the longest time because id load in late and id start lagging with a high ping and low fps. then i spent like 16 hours going back and forth with support trying every fix and internet tweak i and they could think of and nothing worked.it was still lagging and taking long to load into maps. for what ever reason i thought of uninstalling it from my c drive and loading it to my d drive. loan behold it ran as smooth as an egg and loaded every map fast as ever after i did that . right then in there i knew it was my damn hdd. lol
