Hard Drive Bluescreen

[godjohnsmith69]

Ok, so a while ago my hard drive started to make loud noises as though I could hear the hard drive reading and writing. Because of this I got myself a new hard drive around the same size.

When I installed my hard drive I proceeded to install all of my games and files etc. Around a week later playing games that were installed on that new hard drive (I still have 1 or 2 games on my SSD) my computer blue screened a few times which confused me as it happened around 2 times in one day. I made nothing of it and carried on and it happened again 1 or 2 more times throughout the course of a week or so.

Today it happened again when I was watching some YouTube videos and I checked the error which said "Stop 00000007a" referring to a data error in a hard drive or RAM. When I turned my computer back on I got an error of missing BootMgr. I originally thought this was caused by my SSD but upon unplugging the new hard drive i installed around a week ago this error has gone and the bluescreens have not continues as of thus far.

My question is will there be any chance of fixing this hard drive or should I simply get a new one as I am afraid the same or a similar issue may happen as of the hard drive before it eventually getting worse.

Thanks for reading as I know there is a lot to read.

Also sorry for stupid name

It sure sounds to me like an issue with that drive.
You could try partitioning and formatting it...but that's about all the advice I have.

Hello godjohnsmith69, what brand is your HDD? If you have a Seagate, run Seatools on it to see what is its health. That will let you know if the drive is in optimal condition or not. If need be, you can contact support here.

Well the thing is that when that drive is plugged in with a SATA then the error of missing BootMgr pops up so I guess I will just have to get another hard drive and hope for the best

The first hard drive that I had was a Seagate but when I ran the tool to check it didn't show any errors which is weird but the hard drive I have now is a western digital but I do appreciate the help
