I have 1 tb of wdc hard disk. Every few months it fails to boot. First time, I thought my hard disk was dying. Then I installed its manufacturer software tool to check. It says it's working fine. I tried windows built-in scanner. It didn't find any fault either. I also tried with a couple of software tools. None found any problem. Then I changed my sata cable, I even tried different sata ports on my motherboard. If I unhook and hook back in the sata cable, the hard disk works just fine for next few months. I am concerned if there is anything wrong with bios.

Your help would be appreciated.
