Possible broken drive keeps crashing my pc, how do I fix this? Is it corrupted or physically broken?

Hi, my pc has been giving me BSOD like 10 times a day for the past 10 or more days because of corrupted files or ram issues (I'm not sure), I tried checking for the drive integrity and this came out:

"Error Checking (Windows (C:)

Repair this drive

Windows found errors on this drive that need to be repaired. Close this dialog box, and then repair the drive."

So out of curiosity I tried doing the same to my other drive and came out with the same issue. How do I fix this? Do I need to reset my PC? Do I have to buy a new drive? Or do I need to perform a fresh install of windows 11?

Bsod errors I've been getting:

KERNEL_DATA_INPAGE_ERROR

SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED

SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION

And other I can't remember now

They usually happen when I start my PC, and I'll get 5 or 10 of them one after the other before my PC starts working "properly"

After I manage I get through the bsod errors my PC seems to run just fine for some time before giving me more errors (usually 3-4 hours)

I can provide dump files if explained how to do so

    Delete the partition "Disk 1 Partition 1".

    This should merge the two "Disk 1 Unallocated Space". This way you will have only one Disk 1 Unallocated Space to choose from and install the system on.

    Hi David, after deleting the first 3 disk 1 partition I noticed that there are 2 disk 1 unallocated space now, which ones of the remaining disk 1 should I delete?
