Every now and then my hard drive instead of being the color white will turn blue and it will not be recognized on my computer. I have a Razer laptop, when i plug it in i get no sound no nothing please help me.

Hi there Krakenfool,

This could be some sort of a connection related issue.
My advice would be to back up the data, once the drive is properly recognized.

After that, you can try something simple as just attaching the drive with a different cable to another port.
In case the issue persists, you can check its health status out: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/282651-32-best-diagnostic-testing-utility

Let me know how this goes,
