I recently bought a Seagate Barracuda 1.5Tb hard drive and it seems to be having this issue I think because my computer will randomly freeze and shortly after it will restart and windows will look all weird with textless buttons at the login screen. Anyway does anyone have any additional info on this problem. This article says that it does not cause data loss nor does it mean the drive is failing and that there will be a firmware update to fix it. How do you upgrade firmware of a hard drive?
