0x45d is a device I/O error.
Either you have a bad driver or your hard drive is on it's way to the scrapyard. I would recommend finding out your hard drive manufacturer then downloading and burning their diagnostic ISO. Or, some branded computers have a diagnostic utility. What brand of PC is it? Or is it custom?
