Last time this happened somebody told me that I might have had bad SATA cables. This time it happened again. I also want to bring attention to a thread I made on Malwarebytes.

I don't know if the problems are related. I scanned my PC with Webroot Anywhere and MBAM and nothing turned up.
My thoughts are it's a bad drive because it has all of the symptoms of a bad drive. However my C drive is an SSD and AFAIK SSDs are way more stable than HDDs. But I do have 2 HDDs I use as data drives so can a bad data drive also cause this stability issue? A few months ago I turned on my PC and it didn't see my F drive which is an HDD and my main data drive. I had to restart for it to detect it. Acronis drive monitor showed some issues with it but I haven't had those issues pop up and it's been over a month.
Also I leave my PC on and I have it run a scheduled task to shut down at 1:00 AM and I made it so it will do that regardless of if a program is running and this morning it was still on with MSI afterburner giving me a message about C: being full and I had to do a hard restart.
