A disk error ocurred on Windows 10 [on hold]
So I'm running into plethora of problems since I got this desktop.
First issue I had: I couldn't go through with the Windows installation initially when I got this computer. The installation would take several hours to go to 20% and then pop up with an error message.
Turned out the disk was done for and I got it exchanged.
I've run a Windows installation successfully on a new drive and I had no major problems with the computer for the last 2 days.
Today, I tried to launch an application to no avail and the system left me hanging with a blank upper bar. Force-closing the task wouldn't work either, so I decided to restart the system and see if it solves the issue. Turned out that Windows couldn't even restart properly, so I hard-restarted it.
When Windows started booting up, I got the "A disk error occured" message and I tried rebooting a few more times before deciding to try and repair Windows using a USB stick. Formatting the partition wouldn't work, giving me the 0x80070057 error. I deleted all existing partitions and created new ones. Formatting the new one would give me the same error code. Going through with installing Windows on the drive was not possible either.
Is there any way I can fix this issue? It's getting kind of redundant if it means another drive is messed up.
UPDATE 1:
I've since taken the computer to employer's IT department to get it fixed and they had no issue with running it and Windows installation on it whatsoever.
"Perhaps a faulty outlet or strip was the culprit," we thought. I've taken it home and it worked fine for the last 4 days before the same thing, with the very same symptoms happened yesterday.
I changed the plug to a different outlet and avoided the "A disk error occured" message, but was struck with the Blue Screen of Death and BAD SYSTEM CONFIG INFO error message and the following error codes in the upper left corner:
0x0000000000000002
0xFFFFEB884F30CBB0
0x0000000000000002
0xFFFFFFFFC000014C
UPDATE 2: I've tried running this guide and it would go great up to the point of copying the WindowsSystem32configRegBack folder. It was empty.
UPDATE 3: In the end, since I was unable to do anything non-mechanical with the computer, I decided to check the disk with chkdsk /x /r /f, which I was successful with running, and it returned me with no errors. I then went ahead and reinstalled Windows on the computer. I think a bad power supply may be a potential reason for the computer's problems.

Power outage is hazardous to the health of your hardware and software, and may also explain your problem. If your area is prone to such, a UPS with battery might be indicated.

I'd check if PSU is of good quality. Bad PSU could cause all sorts of problems.

@razorramon - You should make that clear in your question body, and not use your edits to your question, to submit any possible solution to your problem. However, you shouldn't really use an answer for a possible solution either, since you have not confirmed the accuracy of it (yet).

It might HDD cable problem or it belongs to HDD socket on the mainboard.
Please replace HDD cable, if the problem exists then your mainboard HDD socket or some part that belong to it, might have Cold solder joint.

It's not a problem with the HDD. I've runchkdsk /x /r /fon it and it returned no errors whatsoever.

@razorramon, OK, however, the broken HDD's cable or broken mainboard's HDD's socket may be connected or disconnected in some situations for example when you shake PC or when you move your PC from a cold place to a warmer place or vice versa. it might connect at that moment (when you run that command). Did you try to replace HDD cable? if not, so please replace it. it might solve your problem.
