Hey guys!
I don't often post much here, but i'm a long time lurker.
If found that my computer has an issue, mainly with the primary boot SSD with Windows 7 on it.
This has been happening for about a month. The issue occurs when ever I leave my computer to go to standby, or even if the computers on and running but i'm not doing anything on it. In essence, i've never actually seen it happen.
The computer will power off and straight back into the BIOS. It will then only show the secondary SSD. I can power off the machine and power it straight back on and the primary SSD will be there, but positioned second in the boot order. When booting from the primary SSD, it loads up and everything works fine, until I leave the computer on over night.
Things i've done;
- Running CHKDSK stops at a certain percentage every time and freezes. (I've left it for 2hours or so at 1 spot).
- SeaTools for Windows S.M.A.R.T test passes, but Long Generic test causes Windows Explorer to crash (everything becomes unresponsive and eventually the task bar disappears and the BSOD to 0x0000000F4
- MiniTool Partition Home's surface test gets too the same spot every time and then finds a bad sector and then the rest of the HDD after that is read as bad, then BSOD and 0x000000F4.
Not sure where to go from here. Thinking of setting up a Bootable USB and having a look at the bad sectors from that? Can anyone help fix the issue or troubleshoot with me.
Thanks in advance <3
