Question Event viewer bad sector

[davidborndorf]

My computer has blue screened a couple times. I was looking at the Event Viewer and noticed a bunch of Bad Sector errors. I ran CHKDSK /r /f which ran fine and showed no errors. But system viewer was still throwing up Bad Sector errors.

So I purchased a new SSD and cloned it using Macrium Reflect... but Event Viewer is still throwing the same error. I also tried resetting windows.

What would be your next trouble shooting steps?

The first thing I would've done since purchasing a brand new SSD, was to install the OS afresh(in offline mode) on said SSD and see if any issues cropped up. As of this moment, you've copied over any corruption that was on your existing drive and migrated it over to the new SSD.

Would it still be helpful to do that? Reformat the drive and install Windows fresh?
