Okay so, my computer is freaking out at the moment and I'm at a loss.

One day, all of the sudden, various programs/games (Even Windows) begun reporting errors and corrupted files.

Some examples.

Spoiler

>Games like Black Desert and League of Legends started reporting corrupted/missing files, requiring me to run a repair from the launcher

>Skype crashed every 5-10 minutes, reporting a "disk I/O error". Or, would often report an error "Not enough space to execute command"

>uTorrent would often report an error "Not enough space to download files" while downloading, or "Not enough space to execute command"

>Chrome Browser often wouldn't load its settings reporting an error "Chrome couldn't read your settings. Certain functions might not be available and changes in settings won't be saved"

>Chrome Browser would often refuse to download any file of any kind reporting the error "Could not Download, System busy"

>Windows would either often crash with the error "SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED (nvlddmkm.sys).

>Windows would often not allow me to log-into my desktop after Hibernation reporting the error "User Profile Service failed Logon. User Profile cannot be loaded".

NOTE: The computer is almost fresh from a clean install of Windows. The drive has 390GB free out of 500.

After doing quite a lot of digging around, I found out that the cause of my Windows crashing was my NVidia Driver, which I temporarily disabled.

Lastly, I was suggested to run some drive tests, in case something's wrong with my HDD, but here's the point where I'm kinda stuck.

I used both HDTune, and SeaTools. HDTune showed a Warning on the SMART tests (Details below). However, SeaTools showed no error whatsoever, on neither of the tests I run. I read somewhere that HDTune often gives false alarms, but I'm still kind of doubtfull.

It's been an hour since disabling the NVidia Driver and my system seems to be running OK for now. Was the Driver at fault ? Should I be worried about my Hard Drive or  possibly something else ?

Info about my system below

Ha, wish those airheads saying Nivida drivers were better could see this. Anyway, try a 3rd test just to be safe. You can use the built in Windows defrag tool to find bad sectors, and I´d recommend using Crystal Disk Mark to check drive status and health.

Try Speccy, it can tell you correct SMART info if you understand it.
