I have an external WD
My passport 2 tb, does not work well
The led is always flashing
When I connect the disk the pc goes crazy
Takes a long time to recognize it
hangs the pc
Even the bios time has changed
I have already formatted
I have passed Wd tools
And does not work well
any ideas?

What is your OS?
XP usually takes a lot of time to recognize the disk.

Did you try using it on another computer to see if the problem is still present?

My system is win10 pro
Does not work on other PCs
No strange noises
Continuous led flashing only
And creates interference with the software and hardware of my pc
Already formatted 2 times
So it should not have viruses.

Did you try to plug in the (external drive) cable after starting your computer?
I'm doing the followings:
1) Start computer
2) Plug in
3) Plug out
4) Close computer
