Hi , I have googled for the above and read some reviews on the issue . Currently , when it is not detected by BIOS , I do a power cycle and then it gets detected . As per suggestions given by many experts I have examined the power cable of mobo , sata cable ,loose connections etc. The hdd is about a year old with very minimum usage , so there is no chance of bad sectors etc. Its almost new considering my usage . There is no problem with mobo also . The RAM is also good.
Of late , there are freezes in windows after 10 minutes of booting . There are horizontal lines all over the screen and it reboots. The default chkdsk sucks with little information being provided after a scan . The log said something being repaired about security descriptors.
My hard disk is formatted as a GPT partition wit UEFI boot.
How can I find out if
1. Its a hardware issue or
2. Mere reformat and reinstall will solve the issue
I ran the "disk checkup utility" (freeware) , everything is Ok - the long and short check , the SMART tests etc.
Thanks
