The overall fitness for this drive is 0%. Is my hard drive going to fail soon?

My Compaq CQ40 has this weird clicking sound everytime I start it up. Also, sometimes it keeps shutting off all by itself for some reason and sometimes it doesn't. It also gets really hot sometimes... not sure if the laptop was made like this or because this laptop doesnt have good ventilation... (this So I had to use some programs like speedfan and crystaldiskinfo to check if it is fan related or hard disk related problems... or maybe theres too much dust inside since this was like bought since 2008.

I had HDDStatus check it and this was the result:

Im concerned about the part saying The overall fitness for this drive is 0%.
The overall performance for this drive is 89%.

I also used SpeedFan and these were the results:

Im quite concerned that it from 30 degrees, it goes into 50 degrees very fast around 30 minutes even when using a laptop cooler.

Should I get this to a computer technician first or should I just backup my data and buy a new drive already and not go to a technician?

Always back up your data (even when you hard drive isn't making strange clicking noises).

The HDDStatus report with fitness at 0% is rubbish. I says things like your hard drive spins up 0.5% too fast, so it must be faulty. Ignore it. I am not saying everything is fine (as clearly it isn't). But 0% fitness is clearly bollocks.

Would be interesting to see the CPU temps at full load for an extended period and if that provoked the shutdowns.

this only happens when I don't use it with a battery and just the power cord. When Im using it with battery, the random shutting down doesn't happen. Have you seen the entire HDDStatus Report? If not I'll just place the text here:

"Your hard disk is a WDC WD2500BEVT-60ZCT1 with firmware 13.01A13.
The average temperature for this hard disk model is 45°C (min=28°C max=62°C) and yours is 44°C

Troubled attributes:
Attribute Airflow Temperature failed in the past. Its current value is 56, the worst value was 32 and the threshold is 40. According to the manufacturer, this is an advisory condition.

WARNING : your hard disk Spin Up Time attribute current value (184) is below the normal range (185 - 192) reported for your specific hard disk model. Recently purchased hard disks that were not yet power cycled many times might experience a low value here and it wouldn't be a problem as, after some time, the value should raise towards better ones. If, on the other side, your hard disk is not that new and it was powered on several times this might mean its mechanic is getting old. According to Power Cycle Count attribute, your hard disk was powered on 8599 times and this seems to indicate that your hard disk is not brand new and that some kind of drive's mechanic poorer performance is occurring. Usually this attribute is not so relevant by itself, but it might reinforce some other deduction when looking at the global picture.

BLOCKING ISSUE : your hard disk has 2 pending sectors. Those are sectors that couldn't be properly read and that the hard disk logic is waiting for a write operation to try to remap to a spare sector (if available). According to the Reallocated Sector Count attribute, your hard disk seems to have available spare sectors. A simple disk surface scan won't be enough to force the remap operation. You need a read/write surface scan to remap the sector. The best option should be a tool that knows about what should be read from that sector so that it has some option to apply the best fix to the missing data.

NOTE : your hard disk Power Cycle Count attribute current value (92) is below the normal range (95 - 100) reported for your specific hard disk model. Basically your hard disk was power cycled more times than the maximum number the average hard disk was. Power cycles put some stress on the hard disk mechanic. Sometimes power cycles can be caused by a loose hard disk power connector. Make sure it is properly fastened.
