Does this mean that my harddrive is dieing?
Power supply! These errors are usually related to a bad cable or cable connector, or possibly bad power. The presence of BadCRC or ICRC is a pretty good indicator of a poor quality SATA cable. However, if a better cable does not solve the issue, then it is probably a power problem (loose power cable or backplane connection, poor connectors, poor power splitter, overloaded power supply, too many drives on power rail, bad power supply, etc).
It's most probably not your hard drive, most likely to be your ATA cable or ATA bus. try checking the ATA cable and/or changing it to another cable. also try connecting the hard disk to a different ATA bus on motherboard.
