OMEN by HP Laptop 15-dc0xxx
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

when I turn on my gaming laptop which is 3 years old the hard drive is there, after a few minutes it stops working and has a blue question mark. 5 months ago I replaced my dead HD with a firecuda 2tb HD, it was working well but after 2 months this problem occurred which I fixed by uninstalling the drive, 1 week ago my games started crashing and freezing then my HD stops working and has a blue question mark, I tried uninstalling the drive but had no luck. I also replaced my SATA cable yesterday which I thought was the problem, but the problem still occurs. What's weird is that sometimes after shutting my laptop down and restarting it quite a few times it sometimes allows me to access my files and play games without any interruptions but if I shut it down and turn it on again the problem occurs. would be amazing if I can get help on this situation, thanks.
