Problem playing games/constant crashing or not opening.

I noticed recently that many of my games are experiencing problems. Rust for example always get an error code 13 and other times when it does load it crashes (noticed on the task manager when it says the game isn't responding). Something similar has happened with world of warcraft not opening (or when it does after a long wait, it crashes). CSGO is another example of a game that I have that refuses to work as well. I have been in contact with Blizzard and Facepunch support and for a few days now, we have been un-able to fix this problem.

I have tried scanning and repairing the files on the main drive I have most things (specifically games) installed on. This managed to fix some problems such as Battle.net not opening (or opening far too slow) as well as Battlefield 4 not opening before. I have also tried disabling all non microsoft services in msconfig and the problems have continued to occur with games not opening or opening only to crash (the majority of the games. Like I said Battlefield 4 used to do this until I scanned my main Drive (not C) that I install games and other things on.

Hey. I managed to fix the problem by reformatting my hard drive. Although now I have a similar if not the exact same problem occurring again. I did a benchmark of the hard drive and the transfer rate was 26kbps. I believe the hard drive is having problems and I might be needing a new one. Defragging it at the moment.

I stopped the defragging as it was not progressing. I had this problem once before and I reformatted that hard drive which solved it. Although all i have on the hard drive are video games.

I did a low format (cmd disk-part method). I am in the middle of it although I am unsure of how long this usually takes or if it is even working properly (the only effect i can see is the hard drive im formatting has been removed from the list of hard drives I have installed.

I started it this morning at around 10 am. It is now 11:42 am. Would this last me all day (and possibly all night)?.

There is no percentage. The last thing on the cmd is Diskpart > clean all. I pressed enter numerous times so it should be working as well as the fact that the drive it should be formatting no longer shows up under the list of drives. I could provide a screenshot if you like?

My screen has remained like this all day. Is something wrong?
