I have changed the HDD to a new a new but the problem remains the same.

When you say that you changed the HDD to a new one, do you actually mean a brand new one that you purchased from the store, or a "new" to you drive, meaning one that has been used for some time.

 

Regardless of that. do check your SATA connectors. If they are not properly seated or the connector itself is bad, this can cause hard disk errors.

A "new" means brand new bought from the local pc centre. Also I ran memtest86 to check any RAM errors...but nothing was found there. What should I do now ?

Like I already said, check your SATA connections. A loose or failing connection can cause disk errors. If you have cable managed your computer, there could be unwanted strain on the cable. Need to out for that as well.

I changed the original asus SATA cables supplied with motherboard with new after market new SATA cables. Then I started to download a game from Epic to load test the HDD. Suddenly HDD activity hit 100% and HW Info gave warning that 2120 relocated sectors were found. Suddenly from nowhere relocated sectors were found on my HDD. This problem conitnues on loop. Agin if I reinstall windows on my ssd and format my HDD then for few days no problem will be there. Agin these problems would pop up. What to do. Please help

Try a different SATA of the motherboard along with that new cable you got. Could be just a bad SATA port. If the issue still occurs I would try the SSD and HDD on another computer. If the issue cannot be replicated could be a problem with the motherboard.
