If not hardware related sector loss, you maybe have bad written programs leaking memory - ie. swelling in memory in workings over time and allocate more and more space in your swap-file and temporary files on HD. Many not so good written programs can also leave opened temporary files and not delete file after using (specially if programs crash)
look around 'tmp', 'temp' directorys areas if you have lot files and/or have big size.
Sort directorys list after file size and look after unwanted big size-files and many small files with meaningsless names under meaningsless directorys name and in temporary directorys - look under internet explorer, mail program and other used webb viewer - emty this file cache, compact and sort your stored mails and take away all spam with heavy sized attach etc. adjust max allowed swapfile size - emty temporary files and directorys regulary.
if you is unsure if you can take away this temporary file - make rar or zip-archive of this, try using your usual application, if work without trouble or missing files - delete these archives.
Computers used in years have always lot of unwanted 'trash-files' spread around in filesystems and coming from used programs, program log, programs cache, from program crash etc.
