Can CRC Error Count cause Freezing?

[Foot Sampler]

I've been having issues with my PC that are described in this post.

TLDR of last post: my PC is freezing a lot in the OS, mostly when I click on something.

 

After more troubleshooting and help from different forums, it has come to my attention that my boot SSD has a CRC error. I was just wondering if this is even a possible cause of the issues I'm experiencing, or if I should just ignore the error. I changed the SATA cable and port it's plugged into on the motherboard yet the freezing persists, so I'm wondering if the there is validity to the error and it's indicating a bad drive or if I should keep looking elsewhere.

tl;dr: yes, CRC errors (failing hard drive) will cause system freezes.

Yea crc errors will do that. If the system can't access storage, things will crash and fail.

 

If the cables are fine, could be a issue with the drive its self.

Okay. My main concern is that I only have one CRC error according to HD Tune Pro so I wasn't sure if that was an issue or if it would need to be a higher number to raise concerns.
