My SSD died 2 days ago so i had to install windows on my HDD the installation went fine and everything but now whenever my HDD is slightly more loaded it clicks and sounds like its rebooting for a second, so my screen freezes. I started googling, downloaded HDDSentinel and noticed the health % going up and down occasionally together with the Seek Error Rate. Also tried HDDScan's Verify scan which was going pretty good until i decided to open my Chrome so the drive "clicked" made what i assume is a rebooting sound and the processing time went over 0.5s.

So I just wanted to know if there is any hope for the HDD or if I should replace it, thanks in advance!

SMART data looks ok. Screenshot from HDtune health would be easier to read though.
Check your cables. Your symptoms could indicate bad power connection.

Pretty sure its not the cables, tried 3 different SATA cables (2 brand new) and 2 different power cables (1 brand new). Gave it to a friend of mine who will have it checked this week.
