    HDD Initializing issue


    Hi, so I just spend roughly $5500 on a new pc which has been working pretty great except for random freezing from time to time, the entire computer just kind of slows down then turns off then when I turn my pc back on my second HDD has vanished from my computer and when checking disk management is uninitialized and needs to be reformatted so i lose all my data this is obviously getting rather annoying as spending a good chunk of money was kind of hoping it would just be pretty well perfect out of the box

    It was a custom built from pc case gear the specs are



    - 2 Year Warranty    - Samsung 970 EVO Plus NVMe SSD 1TB- Cooler Master MasterLiquid ML120R ARGB AIO Cooler- Western Digital WD Black 4TB WD4005FZBX 3.5in Hard Drive- Phanteks Eclipse P600S Tempered Glass Anthracite- Microsoft Windows 10 Home 64bit OEM DVD- AMD Ryzen 9 3900X with Wraith Prism- ASUS ROG Crosshair VIII Hero WiFi Motherboard- Cooler Master MWE Gold Fully Modular 750W Power Supply- Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 32GB 4x8GB 3600MHz CL18 DDR4- Gigabyte AORUS GeForce RTX 2080 Ti Xtreme 11GB
    I cant find any solutions online nor do I know what's causing it and it's starting to get a bit annoying having to redo my hard drive every day its happened 5 times in 4 days now any help would be appreciated.

    :)

    Hi Johan,

    It is possible that your
    HDD was unreadable
    causing the error message to appear. We recommend that you perform these troubleshooting steps and check if there are any changes:


    • Shutdown
      your
      PC.

    • Unhooked
      the
      HDD
      and
      turn on
      your
      PC.

    • Reconnect
      your
      HDD
      and
      restart
      your
      PC.

    If the issue persists, we suggest that you contact your
    laptop/computer's manufacturer
    for further assistance.

    Update us on how it goes.

    Regards.

    HDD Initializing issue

    HDD Corrupt ?

    Hi,

    There are many possible reasons this issue is happening. We'd like to ask few questions below:

    • What is the brand name of you Hard Disk Drive?
    • How old is the HDD?
    Since you already tried multiple troubleshooting steps, we suggest visiting the manufacturer's website. Find and download a hard drive diagnostic software to help resolve the issue.

    Let us know how it goes.
