WD3200AAKS Stops Spinning

I have a WD3200AAKS,im running Win7 on it,and i have this problems:

  1. When i start my PC,my hdd starts to make sounds,like he starts spinnging,and then stops…after 30 sec,message appears- No system disk,pls enter system disk and rr ur PC…

  2. After a few rr,and a few of this messages,my computer starts,and windows loads…But at some point,after a few min of using it,windows freezes,and hdd stops spinning again…After a few min,sometimes even hours,windows reacts again when hdd starts spinning…

I have tried with other windows,other hdds,and both computer and win work fine,my opinion is that it freezes because of the HDD…

Yesterday i ran a test with wd lifeguard and this is what i got:
