Lately my desktop has been acting a 'little' off. It has been freezing up randomly and sometimes those freezes even end up in a BSOD. After rebooting the pc doesn't want to start up. Another BSOD will pop up telling that windows cannot find a certain file and I should try again. When trying again it will tell me the device cannot be accessed or simply isn't there. Rebooting the pc with a second where it is actually off fixes this problem.
First thing I did today was check the event viewer. To my concern there where about 500 (and still climbing) issues marked as 'Error' on the disk category. They are all about finding a bad block and happen minutes after each other. The errors all come from disk 1. Disk 1 is a corsair force 3 180gb SSD that contains my primary partition with windows on it. It has been a while since I've fiddled around with hardware and the like (before people could buy a SSD). But I still remember 500+ bad block errors mend trouble.
After that I did a few checks to see what was going on. First off: I wend to the computer management screen and checked the disk management. Disk 0 and disk 1, both healthy. Good news! I then continued and ran chkdsk /f. The computer rebooted and the check was executed. Unfortunately nothing was found, so nothing was repaired either. I then continued on towards crystaldiskreport and diskcheckup to see what SMART had to say about it. A copy of this data is linked down below.
So that kind of is the story for now. I hope with the info someone knows a little more then I do because I'm currently clueless. Something is breaking down / has broken down and is screwing with my system. But is that my windows installation or is my SSD ready to be shipped of to the graveyard?
specs, numbers and links:
cpu: Intel I7 3770K (running on stock speed)
mb: Asus Maximus gene-z/gen3
ram: 16gb ddr3
disk 0: random hdd 2tb (unsure what the type is, no problems with it tough)
disk 1: Corsair Force 3 180gb SSD (This is the one windows event viewer is pointing to)
graphics: Geforce gtx 770
PSU: Corsair 850 watt (not sure what the type number is)
OS: Windows 8.1 professional N

If you need any additional information let me know and I'll try to find it.
