I/O Error

Hello there. I am using my Macbook Pro recently and found out that it keeped crashing and crashing, always showing the beach ball loading thing. I actually knew this was an I/O error, because I had faced this problem before too, but it was the same thing happening to be again. However, sometimes my Macbook goes normal for about 30 mins then crash, anyone know how to work it? Oh and by the way, I'm using my Windows 7 from bootcamp to type this out, this never crashed though. Thanks for helping!

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.4)

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:

☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)

☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.

☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.

In the Console window, look under DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION for crash or panic reports. A crash report has a name ending in ".crash" and a panic report has a name ending in ".panic" Select the most recent report from each subcategory and post the entire contents — the text, please, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)

Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.
