Windows 7 Home Premium Chkdsk /f C: issue

[K7ibanez]

I had closed my laptop earlier in the day, came back a few hours later and when I did iTunes would not open so I chose to reboot my PC. After it reboot, it just loaded into windows and froze, shortly after it flashed a BSOD and when it reset again it said bootmgr missing. I put in my windows disk and repaired and I am now back on the laptop but when I run a "chkdsk /f C:" I still get errors and it tells me to schedule a repair when I reboot. When I reboot, it cancels the chkdsk immediately. The screen is only available for a brief second. I was able to get a picture with my phone of the screen and it shows it canceled the fix. I also want to add that no dump file was created for the BSOD.

see if you can get your data off.... it may be you'll need a new install..... check your hard drive with Hard Disk Sentinel and do a "short self-test".

closing down a computer before it configures an update has lethal OS issues more then you would think.

I have all windows updates disabled, and as far as I know, nothing was running at the time of closing. I have also backed up everything.

Hard Disk Sentinel reports my C drive (SSD) life at 77%

Here is the results.

11 errors occured during data transfer. This may indicate problem of the device or with data/power cables. It is recommended to examine and replace the cables if possible.
13 errors reported during write to the device.
At this point, warranty replacement of the disk is not yet possible, only if the health drops further.
It is recommended to examine the log of the disk regularly. All new problems found will be logged there.
The TRIM feature of the SSD is supported and enabled for optimal performance.

The question now is do I buy a new SSD or do I just reinstall Windows?

With OS corruption you have to think its either from a virus; bad memory; hard drive going bad. You want to rule out hardware issues before you go thru the trouble of taking the time to do software trouble shooting.

I'd make sure the hard drive is good(which you did). to be honest i've never seen a SSD partially go bad so if its already starting then i'd say replace it. Weird to me. Hard disks have partial badness and it just closes out bad sectors on the disk itself and you lose disk space but it works fine. SSD's aren't like that.

Memtest your memory. If its throwing out a bunch of errors it will corrupt windows.

Others will also advice you to get a known good PSU from tier 1 or 2 on the list here at tomshardware.

If you rule out mechanical then your good to go with software trouble shooting..... to be honest its easier and faster in the long run to just do fresh OS installs. If you have a virus running around corrupting windows there's no telling how deep the damage goes. If you have time on your hands just want to learn odd procedures for fixing windows well have at it; if you don't want to mess around just fresh install.

Belarc - document your program licenses and copy to flash drive(if you can)

if you can see the contents of your data using another rig use a copying program.-- Richcopy 4.0 was cool to use for me. Teracopy also is good for some.

Just a few minutes ago I walked in to see my laptop saying I need a repair disk again and now Hard Disk Sentinel is showing the life down to 73% from 77% and the number of errors has increased. I have always been active on scanning my laptop and have never had a virus on it. I'm pretty sure it is the SSD.

Did one pass of memtest so far and no errors. Going to run it all night and see how that turns out in the morning.


Ran memtest all night for 5 passes in total and had 0 errors.
