Update: woke up this morning and the hdd had returned to normal, but was still having issues with freezing... ran memtest86+ and got close to 1000 errors, Is bad ram the root of the problem?

Psu is a corsair gs800. Will update the original post

Hi there, Been struggling with my pc recently, was hoping someone would be able to help. I first noticed something was wrong when my hdd did not show up in the windows file manager(not my main drive), I have windows installed on another drive (ssd). I decided to ignore it and hope it might show up I then proceeded to open a few tabs on chrome and then a few minutes later the pc froze and then i lost display output and then got a BSOD (Stop code critical process died). since then it has struggled to restart sometimes taking a few tries, lights will come on but no output to monitor or peripherals, i then switch it off by holding the power button and try again. Every 3 or so tries it will manage to boot to windows only to freeze a few minutes later. any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
