My computer always crashes and goes slow after one day of formatting it. Then, when I try to format it again, it won't recognize my hard drive. What is it issue here? Is that the sata cable?
 
The drive is the most likely suspect to have failed but if you stop trying to make it work, you might have a chance of recovering data later on when you've got a working system.

You could slave that drive to the machine you're posting from; assuming that's not a phone. It's likel you'll have to buy another drive.

This is my main hard disk that used to work before.
I want to know what is the problem in this PC so I could fix it.
As I told you before my computer went slow and then when I rebooted it it, it didn't open as it didn't recognize my hard drive and I can't even reinstall windows on it because of that
 
1: Even nearly new drives are falling over at four years old and there's more that can go wrong in a drive than there is in a SATA cable.

2: It's because it has the word Windows in it. :D

After a fresh installation, updates flood in and they go back to the date the system had been on a DVD. If you get a fresh one from the Microsoft website, it still needs dozens of updates.
