Hey Casper7292. Although this may sounds like an OS issue, I'd recommend to try a few things first so that we could rule them out. Firs bakcup any important data which you might have on that drive. Then I'd recommend that you download the manufacturer's diagnostic tool to test the drive with it. You could also try it with a different SATA connection to see if the same thing happens.

Hope that helps.
