Multiple Problems While HDD Connected

[Sayan chakraborty 02181]

Hi, first of all I will give the full PC Specs here (Bought 2023 December)- 
CPU - Intel Core i5-12400F
GPU - Zotac RTX 3060 12GB

RAM - Adata XPG D30 DDR4 3200Mhz White

Motherboard - Asrock b760m Pro RS/D4

SSD - 512GB M.2 NVME

SSD 2 - Adata SATA SSD (Bought 3 years ago for another PC)

HDD - Consistent 512 GB (it's a local company HDD just for more storage)
OS - Windows 10 Home

Problems - 
Before 15 days I got a BSOD called - MEMORY_MANAGEMENT, but I just ignored and then keep working like normal. But after few days I got some performance issues like computer freezes and same BSOD error occurs. It happened several times and I decided to Reinstall Fresh Windows again. After installing fresh windows, everything got fixed there are no problem with my PC. But 2 days ago I saw that my PC isn't shutting down, I tried several times to shut down but it failed, it did nothing. I kept waiting and then several windows came to my screen and started shutting down. But after that when I started my PC again it shows it is checking and repairing my Drive E: which is my Hard Disk. I waited for it and it took about 20 minutes and I thought it's done I won't have any problems again. But when I went to shut down again, it doesn't repeat like before but the shutting down screen was buffering for almost 15 minutes and the got shut down. After that whenever I start my windows it takes too much time to start and too much time to shut down. But after removing my Drive E: which is my Hard Disk, it becomes completely fine. But I have a problem which is that I need that HDD Because almost all of files that I need are there. Those are important. Please Help me and give me suggestions how I can be safe from getting this type of problems

Just move all your files from that HDD to one of the SSDs. This is why you don't put important files on shitty drives.

The best course of action will likely be backing up any data on the HDD and replacing it.

I assume you mean SSD, not Hard disk? It has likely died. When ssd's die, they tend to not have any warning signs. they just go unresponsive.

No I mean I have 2 SSDs, one is NVME and another one is SATA SSD. But having problem with another device which is Hard Disk, both ssd are good and not having any issue with those

Based on what you initially mentioned, it looks like you had two issues. The memory management BSOD is likely related to a RAM issue, which could have been caused by overheating, overclocking, or settings. This probably got fixed with the reinstall, as the BIOS settings may have been reset to their defaults.

 

As for the hard drive, it may or may not be related to the first issue, this could just be a coincidence. However, if the hard disk is old, it's most likely on its way out. You should transfer all your important files to another drive as soon as possible.

 

Now, if the drive takes a long time to load when connected to the PC, here's what I’d try: First, disconnect the HDD and power on the system. Then, enter the BIOS and set the SATA port (where the HDD will be connected) to Hot Plug or Hot Swap (whichever the correct term is). This essentially makes the drive behave like a USB drive, allowing you to plug and unplug it while the PC is running. So, once the system is up and running, reconnect the HDD.

 

But there’s one last thing... probably the most important: Cross your fingers and pray to the PC gods that the drive hasn’t died yet, and that the system can still read it.

Extra steps. Once you transfer all important files. You can try to download those hardrive health checker  and see it the actual condition of that drive.

You also get Memory_Management crashes if the page file has corrupted data, so it could also be storage. Because he reinstalled though, we can't check the dump file or know if the HDD had the page file.

An HDD isn't a shitty drive. It's a marvel of engineering.

512 GB is not a standard harddrive size. That is an SSD size. Do you have the model or a picture of it? Everything I fine with that size and name shows an SSD, not hard drive.

 

I guess you mean 500 GB?

Pretty sure they were referring to it being a questionable drive quality:

Sure I get that, but there are only 3 companies that make drives. WD, Seagate and Toshiba. Any other brand is just slapping a sticker on it.

I had thought of that, it just didn't make sense to me.

The drive is of questionable quality now, not when the data was stored on (or did I miss something ?).
