I just faced a toast WB 750GB hard disk and replaced it with a new WD 1TB one. The problem occurs rarely, sometimes showing a blue screen, sometimes a black screen and upon booting I get a message "Bootable device not found" and then when I restart the system, everything runs smoothly. I am apprehended that this may be the groundwork of some severe problem that is coming, please suggest me what to do.
Sudden shutdown and "Bootable device not found" message and then everything runs normally after a restart.

Hi there HIJKMN,
That is really unpleasant.
I believe it would be a really nice idea to back up the data stored on it, until you sort this out.
After that, you can run both short and extended DLG tests on the drive: http://products.wdc.com/support/kb.ashx?id=KToX4Y
The results should show the overall health status of the drive.
Changing both SATA and power cables will not hurt as well. You can even use a different SATA port.
Is the drive under warranty?
Let me know how this goes,

When the computer is booting up press F8 repeatedly until a menu shows up. Choose disable restart on blue screen. Try to make this routine until the problem occurs again.

Yup, the drive is well within the warranty period, however, what I am talking about is my laptop, so I am not so sure whether I have a different SATA port on the machine.
I will try to change the SATA and power cables if possible.
The S.M.A.R.T. report also showed no abnormalities. The health report showed 100.
I think there is another test, I will keep you updated on the result when I get it done.

Well, as this is a laptop, you can't try another port.
See whether the drive would pass the extended tests. You can even run some third part tools as well: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/282651-32-best-diagnostic-testing-utility
