I've been on here once before on another account but I'll get straight to the problem, and you can already tell what my problem is by the title. A couple of days ago my monitor would blink and all files that were on my hard drive (SeaGate 3TB) would just disappear, short cuts that led to files on the hard drive would show up as an icon that looks like a piece a paper and the rest of the files that were on my SSD were fine. After a few seconds it would blink back and it would be normal. Today that happened again except it didn't blink again like usual. I tried to launch steam and other files I had installed on it were saying to check the plugs and such and I did. I've tried many things like switching cables around, trying the hard drive in a different computer, Putting a completely different hard drive in my computer that already had windows on it (It couldn't start up). Everything I've tried points to my computer as the problem. Anything I can do? PS. I'm not the most tech savy.
Edit: It sometimes will show up in disk management, device manager, etc. But when it does it doesn't show any details, like the size of the disk. Either the entire drive is not there, named as "Unknown device" or the actual names itself.
