Did you change anything on your computer.
Check the power and sata cables.

If that doesn't help, try the HDD in another computer.
If that doesn't work it's probably time for a new HDD , or preferably an SSD for the OS.

Is this the system in your specs, the "Asus desktop PC K31ADE series" ?


Remember that we cant answer questions without information from you

What have you tried and found out about the hard drive?
What hard drive is it?
Have you tried it in other SATA ports, on another PC, with a USB adaptor?
Does the PC work normally without the drive?

Well if that's all the information you'll share, then replace the hard drive.
