I have a windows 10 PC with 3 drives, a 100 GB SD from which the system boots, along with a 1 and 2 TB hard-drive used for storage. Until I disabled fast-boot the system was unable to shut-down/logout normally being stuck on an infinite loading screen.

Disabling Fast-boot has fixed the problem of infinite loading but has left a few problems in it's place. I am unable to resume torrent downloads as any download(which I save to the 2 TB drive) gives me cyclic redundancy check error. The application often randomly freeze and I have been unable to install steam as it is stuck forever applying updates. The desktop sometime randomly goes black and moves the application bar to the side.

I suspect the problem has to do with the disk as DISKPART is stuck with a blinking cursor indicating that the computer has trouble accessing a disk but given that the inbuilt system scan indicates that all the disks are problem-free I'm confused about the source of the problem.

Does anybody have any insight into how I can remedy this problem?

A cyclic redundancy check error is something reported by a drive when the data on the disk is corrupt. The problem is likely in the drive itself but it could possibly be in the SATA controller or the system's power supply. I would replace the hard drive and see if the problems go away. The other problems might be fallout from this one, or might be independent.
