I'm going to upgrade my computer.
The only part that I'll leave is my HDD (Samsung HD103SJ 1TB).
The problem is, I'm having blue screen of death all the time and it would be bad if it was because of the HDD.
How do I know if it is?

Try downloading a testing software like seatools or something similar. The last time I used it, it worked for non-seagate drives.

Hopefully you can determine whether or not it's faulty with the short test. If not that try the long test. It's entirely possible that you have a bad memory module, CPU thermal issue, Software/Driver conflicts, or something else, a large number of things can cause a BSOD.

Hey there, Kazuki70!

I'd agree with coovargo about using a different diagnostics utility, so I'd suggest you to go to your HDD manufacturer's website and search for any recommended testing tool. If you cannot find such, check this thread with some pretty good third-party suggestions: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/282651-32-best-diagnostic-testing-utility
What is the error on the BSOD?

Keep us posted! :)

Is there any update to this? Still wondering. It's worth mentioning, that the number of hours and reallocated sector count is very high. 252 vs 10 threshold. I would recommend you get a good drive for good measure if nothing else.
