Hey,


I just ordered a new hard drive: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822145166


It came. It worked for about 4 days, and then I notice my games would hang for like 20 seconds some times....

I reboot the system, and system would not start, because the HDD clicks clicks clicks for like 10 minutes, and in BIOS i can't even find the HDD!

Does this mean this HDD is dead/??? Is it due to overclocking CPU and increasing voltage? How do i restore my data!!?
 
Try plugging the drive into another power connector. Also try a different socket on the motherboard. And get another cable and try that.

It kinda sounds like a dead drive to me though.

Overclocking the CPU or playing with the CPU voltages will have zero affect on the peripherals. They run off of the 12v and 5v straight from the power supply. The voltages you change when you adjust the vcore or memory voltages are internal to the motherboard, not what is being fed from the power supply.

Nope.

No retailer that I know of does.

You may want to check on Hitachi's website. They may offer a better deal than Newegg. But the replacement you get from them may be refurbished.
