For a very long time now my disk buzzes like crazy on startup. It takes an incredibly long time for it to go away so I can finally use my PC again. The buzzing basically shakes my entire desk . Yesterday I tried to boot but got an error saying “Reboot and select proper Boot Device” which strangely also went away after a restart. However, today, I got a Blue Screen of Death with the '' Kernel Data Inpage Error'', and upon restarting it took my PC 10 minutes to start up. My disk is regularly at 100 percent at various times for no reason and I have no idea what to do anymore. Thank you for any help.

I don't what warranty Toshiba offers but contacting them and informing them about the issues you're having will most likely be your best bet.

If I may suggest something, if you need a new disk, get one from Western Digital, I've had several for 3 years now without any issues.

The one linked below is a 1TB version, 7.200RPM it's the same one I have, speed is good and the disk is reliable.
