PC Freezes Randomly During Use

[Empty__]

As the title indicates my PC has begun randomly freezing seemingly out of nowhere. For context I built this PC around a year or two ago and its worked perfectly fine until recently (specs are below). A couple months ago my hard drive (a Barracuda 2tb drive) began to make a clicking sound which to me indicated it was becoming old and needed to be replaced. After ordering a new replacement drive and sending the bad one back for repair (it was still under warranty) the new drive once installed displayed the same symptoms immediately and began clicking upon its first start up. I promptly returned the drive and ordered another only for the new one to display the exact same symptoms again. This happened 3 times now so I was beginning to think that its not the hard drive's fault but rather a different component that causes them to fail, I tried different SATA data and SATA power cables and they all displayed the same activity.

 

I've seen online that the power supply might be the issue, I have a Corsair RM850x power supply 80+ gold but I have no way to test if it is faulty. Everything else seems to work fine, I downloaded a Seagate application that tests the health of your systems drives and the only test the different hard drives fail is the S.M.A.R.T. tests, all other tests come back positive. Further, when I play games off of my 500gb ADATA SSD my system never freezes, I often play Rainbow Six with friends and my PC never freezes or shuts down during use. MOBO post codes indicate that everything is OK and I haven't seen any odd behavior from any other component. Does any one know what could be causing the issue?
