I had a BSOD pop up, the first on this machine, which indicated this error. I rebooted, and everything runs fine, until I tried to run Skyrim. The game froze during the loading screen, and after a hard re-start, I checked the Event Viewer. There were 1500+ items describing that same error, and the number has climbed to 2254 items while I typed this comment.

I researched about most of the computer hardware before I purchased this system, but I truly know absolutely nothing about hard drives. I have a 2tb HDD, and a 40gb SSD for Rapid Response, um, thingy. Is the hard drive going out? How can I test it?
