On the surface, your drives look okay, but one or both could be failing. I honestly think one of your hard drives is going bad. Before you go to JIB, Advice, or InvadeIT and buy a new hard drive, there are couple of things I would check.

 

1. Check to make sure your Sata cables are properly attached to the hard drive and motherboard. A loose connection can work fine under normal load, but fail when it is pulling a lot of data. Like when you are gaming.

 

2. Check the temperatures that your drives are running at. I know, from living in Thailand myself, heat can be a big issue here. Use a program like CPUz for this. I have seen drives slow down and even stop working because they got too hot.

 

3. Try using different SATA ports on your motherboard. If this fixes the problem, you may have a bad motherboard.

 

4. Take your D: drive out of your computer and see if the problem continues. If this fixes it, then your D: drive maybe bad.

 

I hope this helps!

Hi @prem0910!

 

@linesma gave a pretty cool basic troubleshooting steps and agree that this will give you a good idea about what is happening with the PC exactly. The only thing I would add is to test both drives with the manufacturer diagnostic tools and see what the results will be - I prefer such tests instead of chkdsk because these programs and tuned to the specific firmware of the drives and therefore will show more accurate results. Such tool you can use if you have a WD hard disk is Data Lifeguard Diagnostics for instance:

http://products.wdc.com/support/kb.ashx?id=F8Mc5Z

 

Just don't forget to make a backup of your most important data on another location before you start so it could be safely secured there.

 

Once the test is complete feel free to upload some screenshots so we can take a look.

I always forget about the diagnostic tools from the manufacturer. Thanks for bringing them up and reminding me as well!
