My old Seagate Barracuda 2TB hard drive died in February this year, i bought a new one and all was working okay. My was playing up slightly on occasions i.e. games crashing for a second or two, i never suspected it was my HDD tho, this morning i turned my PC on and it come on as normal. i was in the middle of playing a game and it completely crashed, so i restarted the PC.

After the restart it took like 5 mins to turn back on where it usually takes seconds off the SSD. and when it come on all the icons that are installed on my D:/ drive are all blanks, so i assumed it was my HDD that has died again. I've unplugged it and my PC starts up normally. i felt the HDD and it is spinning up and moving inside but no longer seems to work.

Any ideas? its not even that only i only bought it end of Feb/ Start of March.
Thanks
