Insufficient information.

Probably bad sectors or power supply. The data can be recovered. Immediately copy any data about which you care to another disk. If that is no longer possible, you probably need professional help.

Could be bad sectors. Is the data important?

information is not enough. seek pro

Maybe there is one or more components on the PCB which overheat causing PCB to malfuinction?

Best course of action is to send to a professional for a more accurate diagnostic.

agreen with Wiseleo,do you want to want to you pay more and more for data recovery? back up immediately if you don't want. you can check what problem after backup.
