are you tried running:
smartctl -t short /dev/sda
that takes a couple of minutes
smartctl -t long /dev/sda
that can take hours depending the size of disk so try to execute to a
time where you will not shutdown or occupy too much the machine
the above commands tell the time which will take after that
execute:
smartctl -a /dev/sda | less
and go to the end that will tell if the test completed without error
or maybe that will uncover some error with the hard disk.
