Yesterday when I was playing a game called Warframe the game kept freezing over and over. When the game freezes it takes about one minute to unfreeze. The loading time for the game increases. While I kept playing it finally freezes for more than 10 minutes with no mouse and keyboard response. I did a hard shutdown while the game is still running. I open the computer back up I try to find the problem by going to settings I check updates I try downloading the updates it freezes again everything stop working no response I waited for five minutes and did a hard shutdown again. I open the computer the boot time increases to more than 5 minutes. I tried to reset the computer I couldn't reach the settings I want because the computer freezes again. I checked my ram and CPU usage both are low less than 50%. My disk is usage was at 100% on average. I did one last hard shutdown and I lost everything. The computer won't boot up the automatic repair runs nothing is fixed I can't open advanced options to reset my PC. Please look at this pictures and tell me what's wrong. I get a blue screen error and the OS won't boot up.

Hello
This is a macro, recorded answer, read the following carefully, and see according to your own problem.
If you have any doubts, ask me, I will try to answer the best
you have an error message, or a problem with the hard drive (or SSD)
this indicates that your hard drive is certainly damaged
Depending on the error, and its condition, it may fail anytime.
maybe it doesn't work anymore
First of all, you can try to recover personal data
Once your data has been saved
You can either follow the following or buy a new hard drive directly!
What I am indicating now is just a rescue option
If it works, it will be temporary, back up your data regularly
depending on the hard drive condition, it may work a good time
but the hard drive may fail permanently
it is mainly in order to be able to use the computer, the time to replace the system disk
be careful because the goal is to erase the hard drive, your unsaved data will be lost
so you have to reinstall the computer completely
There are several methods, depending on the installed windows system and your computer
Try a full reinstall
You can try to help yourself with this tutorial (sorry not fully translated)
