Windows 10: pc does not see my wd external hdd

my pc does not see my external wd hdd connected to usb port

WD External HDD 1 TB not showing nor working at all after turning off PC while it was on

My Specs:

Processor AMD Phenom(tm) II X4 965 Processor

Video Card AMD Radeon HD 6900 Series

RAM 8.0 GB

Operating System Microsoft Windows 10 (build 16299), 64-bit

I've been trying to fix this problem for a week now and I honestly don't know what else to do.

So far this is all the info I've got and everything I've tried, hope it's some use:

• External HDD works fine on any other computer except this one
• Other WD External HDD don't work either on this computer
• I've tried uninstalling all the drivers and downloading them again, with no change whatsoever
• WD Drive shows up as Read-Only on the WD Driver Hub, and tells me I should format it, but when I tried to use WD Driver Utilities to do just that it would fail with this message: "An exception occurred during the operation, making the result invalid."
• When opened, disk management ask me if I want to initialise the disk, but when prompt to it fails and says: The Request Failed Due To A Fatal Device Hardware Error.
• The External HDD shows up as My Passport without the name I gave it(which does show up when plugged into other computers) and with 0 bytes
• I do not have anything important inside the drive, I've already formatted the external HDD in NTFS just to be sure, nothing changed
• This issue caused me so much frustration that I ended up restarting my entire PC to factory setting... which didn't help at all

Cause of the Issue:

I was playing The Surge from the WD External HDD when the game crashed so I turned off the computer, but when it took too long to close I just pressed the button and put my PC out of its misery. Which I extremely
regret now.

 

External HDD's 'converted' to RAW on PC

I have multiple external HDD's, both WD and Seagate, that are recognizable by my PC, but list in device manager as RAW and empty. I can access all the information on the drives on my laptop just fine. I've tried to reformat the drive and it wont allow me
to access the drive, reading "the format did not complete successfully." I've tried everything from wiping my SSD that windows was installed on and reinstalling fresh, to updating my BIOS, to uninstalling the drivers...

I cant find anything that will allow them to work on my PC.
