Hello,
I built my PC a few weeks ago and one day when I went to load one of my games (which was installed on my hard drive), it wouldn't load and so I restarted my PC and when I went back onto steam all of my games weren't there. I then checked 'My Computer' and the Hard Drive wasn't showing up. The hard drive re-appears once I have completely powered down my PC and turned it off at the wall and then everything runs fine again. I can now tell when it's going to happen as the hard drive is slow when loading folders stored on it and so I checked the BIOS and it is not showing up in there either therefore it can't be the OS.
I have tried changing the SATA cable, SATA port and have also changed the power cable and have had no luck.
My hard drive is a WD Black 2TB and here is my PC part list: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/WJ6QRG
I have also tried running the Windows error check and no errors have shown up. Also, here is a screenshot of CrystalDiskInfo, I'm unsure on what all of the info means but thought I'd provide it in case it is showing anything which indicates there is a problem with my hard drive.
