The hd on my laptop from multiple reviews died for nearly half the reviewers in a year. Fans seem to be working. Virus and spybot free. All the bells and whistles (ie express cache bootup monitors) disabled. The problem is almost certainly the HD. But let's say it was something else in the computer, but how can I make sure its the HD before replacing it? Is there any program that does this for you assuming you have tested components/variables independently yourself?
I also did an Acronis background and 3 times it got stuck with a R/W on the hard drive. I proceeded to make the backup while ignoring the errors. Hard drive just randomly gets stuck with the activity light going crazy, but no heavy activity is going on. It does that and I have to hard power off and restart the computer

Error Scan in HDD Monitor turns out fine, all green blocks.
Attached the event viewer for the last 7 days with the warnings and criticals. Most of them around power and kernel (my shutting down the laptop on freezes)), but a lot of them. Most of them around Kernel Power (again my shutting down the laptop on freezes) and Services Control Manager
