Yesterday my pc froze and so I restarted it. When I restarted it it came up with this

"A disk read error has occurred

Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart"

When I follow the instructions I get the same message again. I am running windows 8 and have been running it for about a year now. The only thing that has change with my pc is that I overcloked my cpu about a week ago. Thanks for any help.

My rig: i5 2500k, MSI Z77A G45, Gainward GTX 980 Phantom, 8GB Corsair Vengeance, OCZ ZT series 750W PSU, 1TB HDD, 800D, fully water cooled. I am currently working on modding my HAF 912+ to fit a custom loop, here is the build log: http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/165963-project-viridis-water-cooled-haf-912/

Dont worry. I think I have fixed it. I just took the battery thing out of the motherboard for about an hour and changed the sata cable used and the port that it was plugged into. Managed to get into windows. Any suggestions on how I could stop this happening again.
