Yes, it was my boot SSD. Turns out there are a few bad blocks and that that was causing some of the issues I was having. I ran HD Tune, and that discovered the bad blocks. I'm going to request a replacement drive as they're still under warrantee. Thanks for your help! I've reinstalled Windows onto a different drive for the time being.

The OS drive (with the C:\ partition) is one of the 3 Mushkin SSDs. I'll just copy down the output, here you go: Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.10586](c) 2015 Microsoft Corporation.

It certainly looks that way.

I'm getting bad block errors in the Windows Event Viewer. Here's a quote: The device, \Device\Harddisk2\DR2, has a bad block. [Level: Error, Source: disk, Event ID: 7] I have over 1,000 events identical to the above message (so it's probably not a big deal, right?). I've tried running smartcdl utils but am unable to find any errors in the drives. I'm not even exactly sure which physical disk the message is referring to. There are several conflicting answers that I've found. I have been having several issues with unexpected crashing and freezing - the reset button doesn't even work most of the time. I assume those are probably separate issues. Thanks for your expertise.
