Game Freezes and Cannot Repair

My game seems to freeze at random times. The music continues, but the game stops completely and is not responding. I tried to re-install twice. Once off my disk and once off the website. There is nothing running in the background, I made sure via MSConfig. I have also tried to repair, but it seems the repair crashes as well giving me this bug report. I have also included the Diag and Game Advisor test.

Hello, Lelouch! 1117 is the Windows error-code indicating that “The request could not be performed because of an I/O device error”. Which utility did you use to check for errors with your disk? I recommend that you find and use your HDD manufacturer’s diagnostic utility to confirm its health.

Optionally, you could try reinstalling GW2 to a different drive if you have one available. If that works without issue, it suggests that there may be an issue with the original drive.
