Is This a HDD Problem Or Not ?

[Lyetnel]

  Hello guys. I recently encountered a boot problem which i never had anything like this before. If i take it from the beginning, after running Flight Simulator for 2-3 hours i shut down my pc properly. I went out for 3-4 hours and when i came back i tried to power up.

 

   The normal beep sound and all the things went well until Windows loading screen. The circle that shows loading under Windows logo didnt show up this time. After waiting 5 minutes i restarted the pc using the button on the case and this time after beep sound it stuck at the number "0078"  that shows bottom right of the screen. After waiting a bit it said something like use a USB device or hard drive to boot up ( i dont even remember what it said because i was terrified about losing my hdd) I tried it again and it did the same thing . 

 

   Then i unplugged the whole computer and checked for any power cable that not in . It was normal. I un-plugged and plugged back the power cord for hdd. And i switched my HDD Data cable for another slot. 

 

   After that i powered up the computer and i went smooth as normal. 

 

   My question is , what may caused this problem and do i need to back my things up and switch up my HDD ? 

 

   I do have a almost 6-7 years old Samsung HD103SJ 1TB HDD and MSI 770-C45 motherboard. Just a moment ago i downloaded CrystalDiskInfo and it says Health status: Good Power On Hours:15787 (wow) I will add the log i took from the app. 

 

  I called Samsung but they said i need to talk with Seagate which they are in Christmas Holiday . I'm waiting for help guys thanks ! 

 

EDIT: BTW  I 'm having some grindy noise coming from PC (cases one of the side is open) for a while now . I dont know its coming from HDD or not.

If your S.M.A.R.T reports are all in green,or it says its status is Good then its probably fine.That grinding noise is pretty disturbing tho,make sure it aint coming from the HDD itself,that indicates a drive failure.

Thanks for your answers. I thought the same thing. If its good why its making sound like this. While i was backing up all the important stuff i noticed that when the disk usage is over %80 or %90 that sounds come in. So its sadly HDD i think .

An update , i cleaned up the case (all the fans, cpu and gpu) and the grinding sound is gone . I m still unsure about my HDD though..
