Hi i have a laptop with windows 7 on it and it keep crashing and locking up. What i mean by this is the mouse moves but nothing can be clicked on as its as if its a still image. The hard drive light is constantly on but i cant hear it doing much.

I thought it was a program but now its also doing it in safe mode. I cant get far enough to run a virus scan so am going to run one from a disk.

I have used memtest to run a test on the 6GB RAM 1x2 and 1x 4 gb sticks and it passed with no errors.

Im thinking it may be the hard drive at fault here but I wonder if there is something else that I may be missing that someone can suggest.
 
I did try and run the sea tools and it would not detect the drive, however i have ran another harddrive test and its found 1 bad sector at the moment.
 
I usually us Hiren's boot cd. the program HDAT2 is searches and "repairs" bad sectors. Though some say it is not possible to fix bad sectors.

How many bad sectors are you at now?
