I was playing GTA V with my friends and then suddenly the game freezes and crashes. I thought this was unusual but whatever, it happens. However, I noticed a weird noise coming from my PC so I shut it down to investigate.
Turns out the noise was coming from my internal hard drive (2TB Seagate BarraCuda). This is also where the game is installed. Also, when trying to boot, it would just be stuck on the loading screen.
After disconnecting the hard drive, I was able to boot my PC just fine. I also tried going into my BIOS settings and enabling hot plugging. But even with that, when I would plug in the hard drive, my already booted PC would freeze and I wouldn't be able to click on anything. As soon as I unplug the hard drive, my PC would unfreeze and I would be able to continue using it.
So I'm a little lost and I don't know what to do. Please help.
