I think your hard drive is about to become non-functional.
Please run Window's own disk check utility and do the full scan to recover bad sectors.
You will notice as you try this it can't do that because windows is running. DO schedule the diskcheck and reboot when you have HOURS of time to not be at the computer. The full disk check can take over 3 hours and its in 5 different stages. All you have to do is not cancel it at reboot. Once its done, it will reboot normally, hopefully having fixed any software problem with the file/folder structure of the disk.
If it doesn't then you will have to buy a new internal hard drive and do a clean install of windows... and then copy all your files, games and settings over while your old drive still spins/works. Talk it over with a local nerd before you actually start formatting drives. Most of the effort is prep-work so you can restore everything without problems.

I think that just by coincidence the files for CS:GO just happened to write to a bad sector. This could have been any file really. Quite literally this has nothing to do with CS:GO itself.

Exit Steam.

Try navigating to your Steam folder and removing your appcache folder and restart Steam to see if this corrects the issue.
