First problem was slowdown in general on everything longer boot into windows random crashes in Google .
Next prob it failed to load the nvidia on board video drivers got stuck on a light blue screen w/circle of death would not load windows normal or safe mode also would not run start up repair from safe mode either. Made a startup repair CD on my other computer went into bios set Cd as 1'st drive booted this comp from that
after several times running startup repair from CD it started working normally . chkdsk f /r found corrupted volume C and some file in google I think and replaced those files .
it found 4kb in bad sectors and marked them .
About 3wks later same thing would not load windows ran startup repair CD got it working chkdsk f /r found 1180 KB in bad sectors it added 2 bad clusters and corrected the volume bitmap. it's been holding steady at that.for 3 days no errors in event viewer then 7 errors in event viewer today . chkdsk only no /f /r for 3 days does not report any more bad clusters or sectors since last chkdsk f /r
but 2 occurrences of each error showed up again in win event log in last 3 days both errors occur at the exact same time could be related ?
I wonder if these are logical read errors or bad physical sectors as in a failing drive or maybe a bad /failing HDD controller or motherboard chipset
Comp is working fine for now no bad files found today sfc /scannow finds nothing either . Of course the smart drive fails the HP test (otherwise windows would not see errors as the smart drive would take care of them first. ) also it fails Seatools smart test and will not go to extended test but it passed both short and long Western digital lifeguard drive tests .and windows chkdsk /f /r
Avast, Malwarebytes and MSE come up clean . defrag works also drive is only about 30% full . system works good back up to speed and all now.
What is interesting it works fine now but every 3 days I get about 7 disc errors in a row in event viewer along with 7 nvstor64 errors . I updated MB chipset drivers HDD firmware
and video drivers.I'm thinking an HDD controller error or MB chipset error?
Thinking about zeroing the drive and a clean format install . But then again if the bad sectors do not increase maybe it is just trying to read a corrupt file but then again chkdsk should point the hdd away from the ones already re allocated and it should not have read errors so maybe it is the drive or controller no noises though .
Computer is a readymade HP s5302f Win 7X64 HP SP1 slimline with an Athlon II X 2 240 4 GB ram 750GB Seagate 7200RPM sata III barracuda hdd,and dvdr+rw , Nvidia 6150se on board video HP , motherboard is an HP pegatron narra 6 motherboard Nvidia MCP61 chipset , 6.01 bios and an add on Asus DGX PCIE sound card w stock P/supply I'll post the logs below in case any one would like to hazard a guess all software and windows updates/hotfixes are current drive is only 30% full
