How to save dieing hard drive?

Ok guys well my hard drive is like dieing whenever I try to install a new game or something. After it dies I restart my system and it works again. I already backed up my files I just need to know if there is a way to save it before it dies all together. So yea Im willing to try anything. Thanks

Sounds like you've got bad sectors. Do a surface scan with EaseUS Partition Master and then repartition the whole drive around the bad sectors.

Hmm, try running comprehensive test with Windows Diagnostic Tool found here:

If this one doesn't report any bad sectors than I'm afraid you're in for a HDD replacement.
