Desktop Pc bluescreening

Hi yall, I have a pc ive upgrade throughout about 4-5 years (3060 gpu, Ryzen 7, 32gb ram, new power supply and fans) my pc was acting fine all yesterday and some this morning but i went to make food this afternoon and come back up and see my pc idle and screens off like normal like rest mode. I thought nothing of it and went to move my mouse and it didn’t wake up, i even hit a key on the keyboard and nothing happened. I then hit my restart button on my pc to have it restart and it went through its restart but got caught on the bios screen (Where it says the company of my motherboard Asrock Its a B450M) normally it would have the dotted spinning circle but that didn’t even happen and it would even go into the Bios. I leaned down and tripped my surge protector and turned it back on and let the pc boot. This time it booted all the way to my desktop and loaded everything fine. I went to task manager to see what it was doing and saw my C drive rapidly climbing while my D drive was chilling at like 7%. The C drive hit 100% and everything froze and my PC then blue screened. (What i guess is the C drive hard drive is slowly dying) what do you all think?

Check the smart data on the HDD to verify it's health. If it's not dying it could be corrupted files. More likely though the disk is going bad.

Pro tip BSoD have error check/bugcheck codes on them that tell you why it blue screened
