Random Beeping and ticking sound from HDD

[The insane]

Hello
The question up there is a techy could solve but I was a bit of confused because my HDD is able to boot up my PC (really slow like need read a 4-5 lines of something to get time in booting ) period now when PC starts up it is normal except the start button bug and the everything is like it is supposed to be but now from the the HDD starts beeping and ticking randomly and when I most moved a folder of like 33 GB from that HDD to my external USB 3.0 drive while it happened the PC started beeping I was like it should able complete the transfer but I noticed something unusual the speed straight from 30 Mbps to 0 Mbps then after few minutes it went normal and now when I started gaming it ran gud for few minutes and turned to a BSOD UNEXPECTED STORE EXCEPTION now I know that my HDD is has fault on a hardware level and I wanted to know what part of the HDD went stupid and is it fixable if you guyz wanted the model of the drive just say it below and it is an 1 TB HDD from Seagate

Thanks in advance

Hi there The insane,

Unfortunately, it seems that your HDD is failing. In case it is still accessible, you need to back up the data stored on it. If it is accessible, but the speed drops to zero, you can try the Ubuntu Live CD approach. Just boot up Ubuntu from a flash drive or a CD -> access your drive -> back up the data. Ubuntu seems to handle failing disk better in some cases. Here's a thread on that: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/267999-32-recover-data-mode

After you've backed up your data, you can test the drive and see what is wrong with it: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/282651-32-best-diagnostic-testing-utility

Trying something simple as just using different cables(both SATA and power ones) will not hurt as well. You can even attach the drive to a different port.

Let me know how this goes,
