First off i just want to say that i have run the WD Diagnostics tool as well as chkdsk /offlinescanandfix (win8.1) without detecting any errors.
My problem exists however, if i put the disk under some strain (ie. download a game from steam or similar) the steam client will crash. The steam client was installed to the same drive, but i have since installed it to C: and the problem dissapears.
It seems like the disk chokes under load, which would reflect in the errors posted below.
DIsk info:
Along comes the event viewer:
I did some research to find out what this means, and while i did find some info i was not able to decode the error completely.
Please note that these errors all point to the same disk, the Western Digital Black 1TB.

Apparently the interesting stuff is at line 0028: 00 00 04 2A.
I figured out that this is a timeout error but i was not able to figure out which command is timing out.
I guess my plea to this community is to ask if anyone knows what this means, and if it is something i can remedy, or if i should go get a new drive?
Thanks in advance, if any more information is required i will try to provide. Thanks for reading.
