Default Hard Drive is dieing

Sadly, my current 1TB hard drive is dieing, the chips on the back of it are broken and this means my PC can go at any moment, luckily enough I will be getting a new one in the next few days so until then I am stuck with my current problematic one

At least it isnt the CPU or Graphics card.

I am not too concerned because it seems to work and then not work, I dont have too much to back up really, just programs mostly. I will be getting 500gb rather than 1tb this time too which is a downgrade but I need a new one and fast. This ones going to need to last until Tuesday because its bank holiday this Monday.

Yes but I am needing to order it from a shop, sadly we dont have a decent local computer shop. It would cheaper getting it delivered than paying bus fares to collect it

Something funny I have noticed since, it seems the hard drive ive ordered may be for nothing, ever since changing my mouse it hasnt had any issues at all.
