There's a lot of reasons it could happen. Start with the silly, easy stuff, like the SATA cable. Make sure it's snug or just chuck it and get a new one. I know...too easy, but it happens. Assuming you have windows 10, check google for symptoms, lots of variables. Yippie...windows.

Hard drives don't live forever so back up your stuff in case the last straw is a new drive. Been there, done that. No fun. Good luck!

Yeak. i have a WIn7 64bit. SATA cable is good and all conected. The HDD shows up for 15-50 min and then *puff* its gone.
Card is rather new, only few years old.
