Is my HDD in danger?

[Chrono5h1ft]

Hi everyone,

Recently (1-2 Months ago), when i'm playing online games, esp. with skype, my computer sometimes starts to have big spikes on and off. Therefore, i went to check my hard disk's data, and i came across this while playing whenever the spike happens.

So... I have 2 questions, as I really don't want to buy another hard disk after <1 year

1) Is there anyway to fix it by myself?

2) I still have warranty (I think), but is the company gonna address this as the complication only happens like 4/10 times i play.

Thanks! (I'm sure its not the internet problem as I've changed an usb adapter to a pcie card.)

Use HDTune to run a normal (not quick) scan of bad sectors and post screen shot here.

1) No, and it's not recommended to do so since your HDD still has warranty.

2) "Reallocated Sectors Count" is a very serious warning that the HDD is about to fail. U can go RMA the HDD.
