It looks like you've a hardware problem. This may - just may- have caused your hard disk problem.
It looks like your PC suddenly switches off - sudden click/black screen - is that what you see?
The problem is that you now don't have a clean install- if you had tested your laptop with a clean install, we'd have a better idea if it was one of your games crashing it. But that's unlikely given how it's shutting down improperly.
I can't read your reliability history further as I can't click on those x's. Only you can do that- have a look at what it says in more detail. However it appears your PC is suddenly shutting down abnormally.
Have you recently added any RAM?
Is your PC still in warranty?
