Hey guys,
i recently built a new PC, and got the `Disk Read Fail`-Error 2-3 times (in about two weeks).
I´m thinking that maybe the hard drive is not working properly.

Do you think I need to replace the HDD?
Thanks in advance.

Hey there, SexyMathematics!

I'd recommend you to use your HDD manufacturer's diagnostic tool and run both short/long tests, so you can benchmark the results you've already got. Another thing you should try is updating your SATA controller/chipset drivers from your motherboard manufacturer's website. You could also plug the hard drive in a different SATA port or using a different SATA cable and see if the Disk Read Error still occurs.

Hope this helps. Keep us posted! :)
