How do I troubleshoot a hard drive failure on my PC?

< 1 min read

  1. Check if the hard drive is properly connected to the heat sink and power supply.

  2. Test the hard drive to ensure proper startup.

  3. Check system logs to verify if there are any error messages indicating a hardware issue, replace the suspect components.

  4. Perform a diagnostic test to check if any of the physical components are failing.

  5. If no issues are detected, restart your PC and try to boot from the hard drive.

  6. If booting from the hard drive is successful, run the chkdsk utility to check for any corrupted system files and repair them.
