Windows 8.1 64 bit
Seagate 1000Gb Hard drive
Computer has been running fine for 4 years. Woke up today to see my computer trying to boot from a disk drive. BIOS vouldnt find my drive. Unplugging and plugging the SATA cable back in. After restart, computer would boot from disk albeit slower than usual. Opening up resource manager shows that 100% of the disk is in use with nothing open. It will run until it crashes, possibly when it hibernates. I would have to replug the SATA cable. I tried using windoes repair and the estimated time counted up until 8 hours and froze. It detected problems and when I tried repairing it did not fully repair and same story. Im running seagate's tools fast fix and will run slow fix if it doesn't work.
Update: sea tools failed. The crash definitely crashes sometime with hibernation. The disk usage was temporary. Running Seatools DoS.
2nd Update: had it running somewhat okay last night, went through multiple hibernations without crashing except today it crashed. Seatools for Windows keeps failing tests and SeaTools DOS couldnt find the drive. I do not know where to go next. Gonna try new cables when I get back from a trip.
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks
