Q on hard drive failure

A day ago, my system hard drive suddenly had a light sound "ton", and then sounded like a hard drive shutdown, my screen went frozen. I had to restart and check the disk. Last night, it got worse. It failed within in short time after it entered windows. Even after I repartitioned and reformatted it fully, it failed during windows installation.

Now I have to install windows on a another hard drive.

I went through several full tests with Seatools. The hard drive checked out fine with no physical damage. The files on it are still intact. But it failed file system test.

What gives? Is there any way this hard drive can still be used safely?

If the drive passed the Seatools tests, take a look at your PSU. If the PSU checks out, get a new HDD.
