Could it b d hard disc(500gg)?do i need 2 change it

how many antivirus did you install on it? don't install more than one.
even if you uninstall the old one before installing new one both remains in your system.
uninstalling antivirus is a little bit difficult and it makes your computer to became very slow if you have more than one antivirus

that is the cause of your problems.
first if you can install an uninstaller software on your computer it will be better to do it with that.
if you cant then try the following
go to add/remove program and uninstall all the antivirusses
then go to run and type msconfig and then press enter it will open a dialog page
be careful here go to services and look at the programs make sure all the antivirus there were stopped and you may see other softwares that you may have uninstall before eg corel and pdf application make sure any software that was removed you stopped it there
still in the dialog click on startup and do the same thing
then save it will ask you to restart say not now/later
open my computer go to hard disc you will see folders go to program folder and open it you'll see folders of all your installed programs go to those of antiviruses and change the names of those folders to anything you like
now restart your computer
after starting the dialog will pop up by itself click on start normal and ok it will try to restart again but click not now/later
open hard disk then program folder and go to those folders you renamed earlier and delete them. then restart your computer again
try that and tell me whether the problem has been solved if not you have to edit your registry and ill tell you how to do that also

Chkdsk can take a while to complete, depending on the size of the hard disk and the amount of work to be done. Next time, try not to shut it down forcefully. You can let it run overnight or something. Test the system with another working hard disk.

Do you have a LiveCD/DVD? You can also use that to diagnose problems with your HDD. As a last resort, see your engineer.
