Windows 10: PC freezing issues.

So my PC has some freezing issues while playing Fortnite, I decided to diagnose the problem. I ran CHKDSK on the drive on which Fortnite is installed on, It reported no problems. Then I ran Fortnite in windowed mode with task manager open, I wanted to see what thing Fortnite is consuming more. Then I saw 100 % disk usage while playing the game at certain times, That discovery led me to do an HDD SMART test. I ran CrystalDiskInfo and status was HDD "caution" the smart attributes which had a yellow sign (WARNING SIGN) were reallocated sectors, I did some research and got to know they are related to bad sectors on the hard drive. I ran a program "HDD Sentinal" It reported that my HDD had 2 bad sectors and Its estimated lifespan is 90 days. And the first time when I opened that program, my PC had a BSOD. The second time, It was fine. Also while playing games my PC crashes, gives an "unknown hard error" These things have happened a lot of time. Also, I did a memory diagnostic and windows reported that your memory has some hardware errors. It would be great If someone can help me diagnose the problem. As to me, I think Its an HDD problem. Help. Specs are:
I7 3770
KINGSTON 8G RAM
MSI ARMOR RX 580 8G OC

That's what the auto setting will do since you're over the 1333 mark it jumps to the next step which isn't listed or officially supported I assume by that ram.

At this point though I would suggest dropping the multi one step or .5 so that we can get something stable and possibly take the heat issue out of the picture for now.
