I have a 2TB Seagate External Hard Drive that when I open it up to look at a file, after a short period of time, the icons on the External Hard-Drive start to blink. In time, the icons on the Desktop also start to blink and, the PC then freezes up, which results in my having to close it down manually by shutting off the power. I do have a 1TB Touro External Hard-Drive that I also sometimes use for retrieving files and, I have no problem with this - other than it holds less documentation. I have Bitdefender Total Security and, have run a virus scan and, nothing shows up. I even provided a BIOS Scan to Bitdefender and, they too can't seem to find out what the problem is either. Can someone respond back to me in "Layman's Terms" (I am 68) as to what might be causing this problem and, what I can do to correct the issue without losing documentation. Additionally, I have noticed duplicate and triplicates of the identical same information on the Seagate External Hard Drive and, literally have thousands of duplicate files when I should only have 1-file to open up. Thanks for any feedback anyone can provide to me.
