Question Hard Drive Failing?

[Holmesl92]

I have a Seagate - Barracuda 1 TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive in my PC i built. This is my primary storage device. I also have a Samsung SSD on which Windows 8.1 is installed.

Recently when im trying to play games im getting errors or a lot of stuttering. Games through Steam like Left 4 Dead are stuttering quite often, and games outside of Steam are hitching, too.

I searched around on google for error codes displayed but couldnt reaoly find anything useful, and I dont know much about computers.

Here is the output from the Chkdsk

Chkdsk was executed in scan mode on a volume snapshot.

Checking file system on F:
Volume label is Internal Storage.

I saw a similar thread posted with the raw Chkdsk data, hope this is how it works.

Would really appreciate any advice/help. I am hoping i wont have to buy a new hard drive soon.

Run SeaTools on it and it will let you know if the drive is at fault. Also, you may contact support here.

Run the extended test (it will take a long time)

Get in touch with support to verify the drive health. I added the link in my fist comment.

Your first step should be to BACKUP YOUR FILES NOW.

Second step, make sure your other components are not at fault (check CPU/GPU temps while gaming).
