Possible hard drive problem??
I was playing csgo today and my pc crashed when I restarted my pc it went into the scanning and repairing drives thing. I let that run its course then my pc started up and I launched steam and csgo and counter strike source were listed as uninstalled in my library. Very strange and it's not the 1st time my pc has gone to the scanning and repairing screen either. So is this a HDD issue or something else?

If it's frequently doing a drive repair, it's very likely. Use chkdsk in cmd.exe to see if you have any disk errors.

Running Check Disk from the Command Line

Search for cmd.exe and run as administrator.

You can run Check Disk from an elevated command prompt or within other tools. At the elevated command prompt, you can test the integrity of drive C by typing the following command:
chkdsk C:

Check Disk then performs an analysis of the disk and returns a status message regarding any problems it encounters.Unless you specify further options, Check Disk won’t repair problems, however.To find and repair errors on drive C, use this command:
chkdsk /f C:

When you use this command, Check Disk performs an analysis of the disk and then repairs any errors it finds, provided that the disk isn’t in use. If the disk is in use, Check Disk displays a prompt that asks whether you want to schedule the disk to be checked the next time you restart the system.

Click Yes to schedule this check.

The complete syntax for Check Disk is as follows:
CHKDSK [volume[[path]filename]] [/f] [/v] [/r] [/x] [/i] [/c] [/l[:size]]

The options and switches for Check Disk are used as follows:
volume Sets the volume to work with
path/filename Specifies files to check for fragmentation (FAT16 and FAT32 only)
/F Fixes errors on the disk
/V Displays the full path and name of every file on the disk (FAT16 and FAT32); displays cleanup messages if any (NTFS)
/R Locates bad sectors and recovers readable information (implies /F)
/X Forces the volume to dismount first if necessary (implies /F)
/I Performs a minimum check of index entries (NTFS only)
/C Skips checking of cycles within the folder structure (NTFS only)
/L:size Sets the log file size (NTFS only)
/B Re-evaluates bad clusters on the volume (NTFS only; implies /R)

Sorry for the late reply and thankyou for your help I now know that this is most definitely a hard drive issue and a SSD is coming in the mail today so I should be all set. Is there an easy way to transfer windows to my new SSD? I don't necessarily care about my other files if they are lost.
