HDD keeps losing indexes, blocks and 100% system usage

It was hard to include in the title the problem.
Here it is what my problem is:

1- Around a week ago everything in my pc screwed... The firewall went done, not possible to activate back. I've searched in a lot of forum and at the end through Tweaking.com - Windows Repair this software I reverted almost all setting to their basic state and the firewall came back to life. However I lost the live tiles in the main screen... but not big deal, I don't care about it.

2- After a couple of days from that the HDD went nuts. I was working on a tex paper and when in the need of saving the document, texmaker became unresponsive. I opened the task manager and system was taking the 100% of the HDD without moving any data but 0.1 MB/s (as it usually writes when doing nothing)

3- After a lot of struggle I decided to do a check disk with the following command: chkdsk D: /f /r /x
This took forever, again with the system using the 100% of the HDD. At the end it resulted a lot of mess, the chkdsk mentioned indexes lost, sectors moved as "not usable" and tons of other things.
Since the HDD has 2 partitions I did the same on the other (F but there was nothing there.

4- The point 3 fixed the problem and I kept working until yesterday when tried to play BF3. Everything started again, 100% usage of the HDD by system and not possible to, obviously, load the game.
Before I go on I have games in F: and documents in D: . Because of this I did a chkdsk on F: and everything was still fine, according to the check disk, but the HDD was still showing the same problem. So I thought an origin update problem.

5- Today I started to work on the tex paper again (on the D: partition) and the problem arose again. I'm doing now a chkdsk and judging by the time it's taking there will be again tons of problems in it (In the tool I have an ETA of 999:00:00 with the system using the 100% of the HDD as it happened the first time I did the chkdsk on D: )

To be complete my system configuration is:
- Win8.1 installed on an SSD
- Most of the data on the HDD (partition D
- All the games on the HDD (partition F
- This is a notebook... In case you need to know it


So what do you think is the problem? Is the HDD slowly dying (it has less than 2 years, by the way)?


Thanks for the help.

- EDIT
- This is the result of the chkdsk



- Another chkdsk said that it found and error in Usn Journal but it could not restore it because of lack of space on the HDD. I cleaned 93 GB more, hence leaving more than 200GB free and it still said that it didn't have enough space to restore it. What is wrong with it?

- Additionally from HDDScan:



Should I be worried about the 3 warnings?

- Conveyance self-test failed

I hope you tell us you have backups of your data files; IF HD is failing, it won't continue to run very long.

No I did no backup. However the important things that are there are the one saved on Dropbox and Mega and Box. There isn't really much I have to back up.
Anyway the question is: do those even suggest an HDD failure?

This was the whole point of the post

I'm not certain; let's wait and see what others have to say.

Yes, the HD is very unreliable and will get worse. It can fail any time. So backup the important data to another HD.

Are you saying this because of what I've posted, or it's just a feeling that you have?

We techs have a feeling that we are soon going to see your hard-drive either John Wayne off into the sunset, or as Captain Ahab's whale taking your stuff down down into the deeps of blue sea.

Ok... so I'll slowly wait for its death. Thanks for the help.
