Windows 10: What is the reason behind for spinning hard drive failure?

Assume the hard drive is never dropped or crashed and always stable during working, what will usually be the reason for it to die at the end of day? Or just no reason? Which part of the electronics inside could deteriorate over time?

Constant hard drive spinning

I am on a relatives computer, and she is complaining of slow performance, and basically, what it looks like, is the hard drive, is constantly spinning, causing programs to act slow, and causing everything to run slow.
I have indexing turned off (Windows Vista ) and I just want a list of things I can start going through to check what might be causing the constant spinning.
She has norton, too. which might be part of the problem..
