My old HD died, but I had that WD Caviar Green 1tb, from 2010, from another PC that broke. Didn't reinstall windows or anything, just plugged It and installed some drivers, apparently It was fine.

The problem is: after some time of use, around 30 minutes to 2 hours, the PC freezes then reboot into BIOS, at the BOOT part, telling that there are NO disks connected to the SATA connectors. I simply turn the PC off using the power button, It starts again and boots normally into windows.
Did some tests, but no success with any of these. Looking up for a solution.

- Changed SATA cables and tried to connect It in different SATA ports

- Changed power cables

- Ran chkdsk/f/r

Windows has finished checking the disk.
Wait while the computer restarts.
- Ran sfc/scannow
No errors.

- Used HD Tune and Crystal
Some health problems: View: https://imgur.com/MiT8XvV

I would like to someone explain what these mean, If possible.

- Ran Data Lifeguard Diagnostic (quick test, because the PC reboot into BIOS before finishing the complete one)
Passed the test.
 
Solution
You should have performed a fresh Windows install on the WD HDD if it came from another PC, but that's somewhat academic now because I'd say the drive is failing if the WD Long Test won't run to completion.
