Sounds to me like your HDD/SDD is failing. I would transfer any important data off it ASAP or you may never get it back again. It could just be a Windows glitch but I'd grab a cheap SSD (256gb or larger) and reinstall Windows. You'd have to grab an empty 8gb flash drive and use the Microsoft Media Creation Tool to download Windows onto the flash drive. Then you just remove the old drive, put the new one in and boot up with the flash drive plugged in.
If you still have warranty then any failure should be covered, as long as it's the original part. You can contact Support and get them to diagnose the issue.

Hopefully it's not a motherboard issue.
