HDD problem or..?

[hardys77]

Hi. My old HDD died like 2 weeks ago, I bought a new one and since it came I had all kind of problems. 90% of the time I restart the pc or turn it on after I shut it down ( I usually put it on sleep mode ) it gives me 2 errors. It's either the disk error occured press ctrl alt del to restart or it takes me to BIOS menu and HDD is not recognized. How I fix it? I just simply restart pc 1,2,3,4 or more times until it recognized the hdd or the ctrl alt del error goes away. What could be the problem? The HDD is 2 weeks old (HDD WD Blue 1TB, 7200rpm, 64MB cache, SATA III). Could it be the sata cables? Sometimes I switch them because I have 2 and that works but sometimes it simply doesn't work. I checked for errors/bad sectors with a few softwares I found online and also checked with dscheck from cmd and with the properties->tools->errors checking scan. No problems were found... I am literally clueless.Thanks.

Check the drive with THIS tool.

Is that the only drive in the system? What OS version?

This is what I got when I ran the quick scan. Faulty HDD?

Yes, if it cannot pass the quick and long test it is bad and time to do an online RMA through HERE unless you just bought it from a local store and can exchange it there easily.

I'm going tomorrow to ask for a refund or to replace it. Thank you !
