Well it would help if you could tell us what the temperature of your Hard Drive was.

what game is it? HDD's get hot sometimes when there's lots of game data. formatting would help some. what RPM is the drive 5400 or 7200? and the cache size of the HDD? how old is the drive also?

about 55c to 59c and the games will stop working. 7200rpm. BF4, Fifa 15,AC Black Flag and others.

That is hot believe or not. That is actually not acceptable. Re-formatting your HDD could help. Sounds like it is starting to die. If it possible and you wont lose data. I would try a format. Then go from there. If it keeps acting like that. You are most likely due for a new drive. Also you may want to try somehow to get better airflow to it. Maybe bigger fan, moving the drive if you can.
Try to keep your HDD between 35c and 45c. At 55 you are at or getting close to the mas temperature for that device.

it is in process of saying good bye to you forever, as (dark_strike) suggested try a format, there is a 50 percent chance it may help that too only in extending the life of the HDD for a little while, i had a toshiba 500GB HDD on a 7200RPM with the same issue, died within 2 months ..... try to place a fan next to it and constantly monitor the changes in temperates ... above 50 itself is not normal, closing in on 60 is way too much for a HDD of that capacity ...
