Help With My HD

[Ghuraba]

Hi there

Over the last 2 months or so every few weeks when I am playing TF2 the game will grash with the sound looping and I cannot get back to the desktop so I have to reboot. I only play TF2 so I don't know if it would happen with other games. When I reboot my PC I get a message saying "No Hard Drive Detected." I have to unplug the sata cable from my HD and then plug it back in and turn my PC on to get back into my PC. I have a Raptor 150GB that is only 2 years old and I have run the Western Digital Diagnostic Tool and it passes all the test both the quick and extended one. Does this sound like the HD is failing? Is there anything else I can do to narrow the possible problem down? My specs are in my signature.

The reason why I think it is the hard drive is that I get the above mentioned message and have to do what I mentioned above to get back into my PC.

Thanks

Michael

might be worth doing a system image of your pc, then do a re-install from disk/flash drive to see if it fixes it, if its still the same after that, re-install from the system image so you can revert back, or if you have a spare hdd try an install on that

It's more like ram or CPU setting/voltage,the hdd detection can be down to the pc crashing badly
