[QUOTE="Rod, post: 1832577, member: 204485"] If you answer is yes to all the above then as suggested by Aswin, it may well be that your HDD is failing. The average life span (dependant on use) is only about 5 years for a spinning disk and its well past that. Its also a known issue that a failing HDD does not always handle erasure and reinstallation of the macOS. Sometimes its the final straw that tips it into complete failure. As Ashwin has stated though now would probably be a great opportunity to upgrade the storage to an SSD and RAM too if you wish. Hopefully if you got it at a good price you will after upgrading have a better device that is upgradeable to the current macOS and much faster HD than the old spinning disk. [/QUOTE]
