[SOLVED] HDD Failure ?

[LowEndPC1234]

Sometimes my PC gets a "unexpected I/O error has occured" When booting windows, But when I replugged the sata, It boots to windows normally.
And sometimes it freezes. Is it a hard drive failure ? or the ram ?


PC Spec :
Intel Pentium E5700 3GHZ
ASUS P5G41C-M LX
Seagate 500 GB Video 3.5
SAMSUNG 4GB DDR3 PC10700 1333mhz

Try change SATA port, or SATA cable. Seems like a bad HDD connection to me.

I've changed it before, still doesn't work

Do the systems freeze frequently on windows ? If yes, then maybe you're right, HDD may be failure.
But before that, check the HDD health (you can use crystaldiskinfo or hddsentinel) , and try also check the error by disk properties.

Update : the hard drive health shows "caution" and games crash
