Hi
I started having issues a week ago when I booted my computer from sleep mode in the morning, it was very slow and unresponsive so I restarted it, as soon as it started booting up I noticed in the motherboard logo it wasn't identifying my hard disk ( IDE Channel 0 Master: None) and it was giving me "Boot Failure: insert system disk or ...etc"
So I went to my BIOS settings, I saw that my hard disk was set as default booting device, I simply changed it to CD ROM then switched it back again to Hard Disk. It booted. My PC worked for a while but everything was slow and some files were "Corrupt or not found" so I thought maybe a re-installation of Windows 7 would help and it did.
The computer ran for about a day then it froze again, restarted, same issue happened except that I get a BSOD now after "Starting WIndows" logo comes up and it keeps looping infinitely with a BSOD.
I installed Hiren's BootCD on a flash drive and I pulled some of my important files using the "Mini Windows XP" and I performed a "Test and Repair bad sectors" test. It caught about 5 bad sectors but in the beginning of the drive, so I thought when I format my computer I would keep some 500 gb of unallocated space, it worked for two days then it froze, BSOD again.
But after the last attempt I tried, the testing for bad sectors reveals no bad sectors and no errors, all seems ok.
What do I do now? How do I make sure that my hard disk is broken or not? because I'm planning to purchase a new one if it is.
P.S. I performed chkdsk /f and it said Windows can't repair the errors.
I have 1.5 TB SATA hard disk
Gigabyte P55A-UD3R motherboard ( my last one was the same model but it stopped functioning so I bought the same one again 4 months ago)
GeForce 560 TI video card
1 stick of 4 GB RAM 1337 MHz
850 watts of power supply
