Hello,

2 days ago I shut down my PC normally. Yesterday I wanted to use it and it was loading without a end.
I turned off the computer, disassembled it, and then disconnected and reconnected every cable. It didn't help.
So I started to testing, 1/2 RAM connected to other slot, GPU disconnected, didn't help.
I started testing hard drives. I have 1 SSD with system, 2nd SSD with games and 1 HDD with just files (important files). After trying every slot and cable configuration possible I started to disconnect one by one looking for something. When I booted up PC without HDD connected it started as usual. I was scared that HDD is somehow destroyed so I checked if BIOS sees it. And it does. I restarted CMOS, set default BIOS, nothing helped. I downloaded lubuntu and started it from USB. It started normally and I was able to see files on that HDD drive, check photos etc.
When I tried hotplug that HDD it showed in "my computer" but frozen whole PC. Had to restart...
Is there a fix for that? Those files are important to me and I would like to at least backup them. What do you recommend?
i5 4670k,
Z87-C,
ADATA 8gb ram,
GTX970,
1x SSD 120gb ADATA (system),
1x SSD 240gb KINGSTON (games),
1x HDD 1000gb WDC (files),
Windows 10.
