Open you bios and make sure your OS hard drive is listed 1st or 2nd only after the optical drive. If this keeps changing then I might suggest replacing your bios battery.
Your hard drive could also be suspect so backing up all important data would be top on the list till you determine what's happening !

yeah my hdd is the 1st one to be booted and no my bios battery is still ok bec the time isnt changing...

Any chance of Malware or Virus i would also update and run both in deep scans and then run both in safe mode as well. if all's clean then I would be looking at testing the drive after backing up !

I also would think your HDD is defective. If possible remove it and hook it up to another PC to see if you can recover any data.

IT has to cable, power and data and will fit only one way.
I personally prefer Seagate drives.

Laptops have a rigid connector to the 2.5" drive and as mentioned only fits one way. Sorry as it sounds like the drive is dead. Maybe removing it and re-installing will give it one or more good boots before it's parked for good? If not then look on this as a chance for a new drive and a clean install. If you backed up you data then it's only time and some money lost but the rig will run at least as good as new or better with a proper clean install.
