Got this on my home PC yesterday morning. This is the second time. Had to do a hard reboot, then everything seemed fine.
Is my hard drive crashing or what?
this might give you some ideas

WTF is bit locker and why are you using it?
Sure cure install Linux and give it the whole disk!
It’s used for encryption.
OK Thanks that makes the problem simpler. Looks like your typical micro$oft BSOD (Blue Screen of Death) but is actually a message from bitlocker. It wants to know the secret code the user entered to encrypt the disk. Better have it or kiss it goodbye and revert to Post #2. If you use Linux you do not need proprietary $oftware to encode your whole disk, but the same rule would apply: Know your secret code or write disk contents off.
There is no indication here that the hard disk is at fault.
