Hello!
Several months ago Windows 10 continued to crash at random times and on boot up I would have the automatic disk repair utility come up. I thought it was clearly my SSD going bad since I had it for nearly five years. However, the Samsung hard drive tool found no issues and neither did Samsung support when I RMAd it. I still got a new Samsung 1TB SSD and removed the old one.
I do have one second, old HDD, that has Windows 10 as a backup in case I have issues. Essentially I have been running on the 1TB SSD, Windows 10 version while having that HDD as backup. Earlier this week I had libre office, Chrome, and Itunes continuously open. Throughout the day I had place the PC in sleep mode and woken it several times, at some point it started to become extremely slow and unusable so I did a hard shutdown after trying to bring up the task manager manually but failing. This brought me back to the scan and repair screen which kept running in loops for about an hour. At some point I did another hard shut down and this process kept happening until a screen told me “Automatic repair couldn’t repair your PC”.
Now I am unsure if I may have screwed the process and caused a corruption, if Windows 10 is causing these issues or the other parts on my PC are too old. I built this PC back in 2013, upgrading the GPU, RAM, and graphics card only, so perhaps the MOBO or other components are starting to fail and I should upgrade? Does anyone have additional pointers on what may be happening?
Here’s a link to my original parts: [https://pcpartpicker.com/b/jqWZxr](https://pcpartpicker.com/b/jqWZxr)
Just keep in mind the RAM, GPU, and PSU are upgraded and I have not gathered those being in a rush today but can if needed or helpful.
Thanks!
