It sounds like your system, using SMART diagnostics, has detected that your HDD is failing and is warning you of that failure. Replacing the failing HDD is your ultimate solution.

You can download HDD diagnostic programs from your HDD manufacturer to gather more information regarding the status of your HDD. Just use your make and model and go to their support website to get it.

This is fairly common. Good luck!
