BSOD While Running Chkdsk And Scanning HD For Errors
Sep 21, 2012
I have ran western digitals lifeguard tools and they keep giving the error 06-Quick Test on drive 1 did not complete!
"Status code = 07 (Failed read test element), Failure Checkpoint = 97 (Unknown Test) SMART self-test did not complete on drive 1!"
I also get blue screen when I run the extended test, or run a chkdsk. HD tune pro tells me that there are 1461 pending sectors and 1455 uncorrectable errors. Is this bad? 1464 pending sectors on my HD but 0 reallocated.
My laptop is BSOD'ing at random times and seems to throw up different reasons. The most popular seems to be Memory Management & Driver IRQL Equal or Less errors. My laptop is an Acer Aspire 5750 Running windows 7 64bit.
Yesterday I tried to install an image mounting program (Alcohol 120%) on Windows 7 Professional x64. When the instillation started it prompt me to restart my computer (which is normal). When my computer restarted I got 5 error messages at the logon screen (in the following order):
(1) The file or directory C:Windows escache is corrupt and unreadable. Please run chkdsk utility.
(2) The file or directory Program FilesCommon FilesMicrosoft Sharedink is corrupt and unreadable. Please run chkdsk utility.
(3) The file or directory C:Program FilesCommon FilesMicrosoft Sharedink is corrupt and unreadable. Please run chkdsk utility.
(4) The file or directory Program FilesCommon FilesMicrosoft Sharedink is corrupt and unreadable. Please run chkdsk utility.
(5) The file or directory C:Program FilesCommon FilesMicrosoft Sharedink is corrupt and unreadable. Please run chkdsk utility.
After hitting âOKâ on each message and typing my password Windows logged me on to a temporary profile.
I went to my C: drive and tried to run the chkdsk but I got this message: âWindows canât check the disk while itâs in use.â So I chose to schedule a disk check next time I log on. Then I restarted and let chkdsk run. Then I got this error message:
âCannot open volume for direct access. Autochk cannot run due to an error caused by a recently installed software package. Use the system restore feature from the control panel to restore to a point prior to the recent software package instillation. An unspecified error occurred (766f6c756d652e63 3f1)â
I then skipped check disk and tried to System Restore and got this error message:
âThe disk C: has errors Windows has detected file system corruption on C: you must check the disk for errors before it can be restored.â
Windows seems to be taking me in circles, and I am unsure of what to do. I would really like to avoid reinstalling windows and starting from scratch.
If anyone has had this problem or knows what to do, any help would be appreciated.
i am getting lately often chkdsk launching on boot and also when i use it to check the situation on the reported partitions (at least two physical drives so far) it reports errors almost on every run even if sometimes they are like 10 minutes after the previous "scan and fix errors" .... Surface / sectors tests and WD diagnostics tool scan (all drives are WD) are coming up clean ...What's the deal here? Doesn't look like the drives need to be replaced right? one especially is like two weeks old
The past few days my computer has been giving me many errors. The way it started were lag spikes. I had opened word to write a bit, and it started lagging alot. My computer has always been fast, and although it could sometimes slightly slow down, it was never this bad. I mean, it was slower than my old laptop with 1gb of ram. I saved and closed word, and went to task manager to troubleshoot if there were problems. All normal. I closed task manager, and went to the start menu to shut down, just in time to get a Bsod. Yes I would love to share any dump files, however i now barely can access it (I just managed to run cmd for a bit) since windows explorer keeps crashing. Ok, so the only thing i know about the bsod is that it gave me the "KERNEL_INPAGE_ERROR", giving the the error code 0x000007e(i think). Also what i noticed was that the error when explorer.exe crashes it gives me the InPage error too. A bit of Google searching easily revealed that the INPAGE ERROR is often related to hard drive problems. Then, the next day, when i restarted the computer it went to chkdsk, (i never scheduled it) and scanned. What caught my eye was that it said "Recovering Orphaned File ### in directory ###, and it said there was not enough space on the drive" (where ### is was a random number that meant absolutely nothing to me) in some points. So the probability that i have a defective drive was getting higher. I decided i needed to do a virus check, but the result was a simple advertising software, which told nothing of the story, so i knew this wasn't a virus cause. I started up my computer, and, although explorer.exe kept crashing literally every 5 seconds, i managed to open up cmd prompt, and typed in "chkdsk /r /f' for a deeper scan. I restarted the system and let it run for a rough 4,5 hours. It founds many bad cluster and apparently "replaced" them. It found bad cluster everywhere on my drive, from files in system32 to my minecraft worlds! Now, I have just started another scan (it is still running) and it pointed out those exact same bad cluster and said it was replacing them.
So the big question is: Is my drive failing? Or is it just windows which is screwed up?
I am really hoping to get over this problem as soon as possible, because, even though i have this laptop i used to write this, my desktop computer is important too.
As for the memory dump files and chkdsk logs, they should be on my computer, and ill post them as soon as chkdsk finishes.
I was scanning this morning with great success. Abruptly, it quit scanning. I've rebooted the PC, uninstalled the printer and reinstalled it. It still will not scan.
Errors found. CHKDSK cannot continue in read-only mode. I ran hard disk check... the result is given below........Errors found. CHKDSK cannot continue in read-only mode.
Windows XP English (United States) C: Volume Label: JAYDEEP, File System: NTFS Volume label is JAYDEEP. Advanced SystemCare is verifying files (stage 1 of 3)... 144896 file records processed. File verification completed.
I have not seen the problem but according to phone conversations when she turns the PC on she gets a black screen with a message that the file system is being checked, but the checking stops with an "unknown error", the black screen flashes and then she gets to her normal log-in screen. This has been going on for a few weeks (ARRRGGHH). The only reason she called me was that she lost internet connectivity this morning.I had her login, open a command prompt, and type in CHKDSK /f but the system returns an ACCESS denied and says she need elevated credentials to run this. As I said she is the only user and she is listed as an administrator under account controls. I had her create a new user account with administrator privileges but NO JOY she still cannot run CHKDSK /f.This is sounding a bit like a virus but I was wondering if anyone had some thoughts on why, or how, administrator privileges are being overridden?
I've been running microsoft security essentials for a while, and didn''t have any problems. Now I tried another virus scan, and i did see all kind of problems, so microsoft security essentials doesnt really work.But the problem is, I cant finish the scan, because i get a bsod during the scan. I've tried scanning with antimalwarebytes, same problem.Dump file is in attachments.
I have an unspecified error 766f6c756d652e63 3f1 (yes there is a gap before the 3f1). I have tried but the above error occurs. HDD is C: drive NTFS system. Reason I'm worried is that sfc /scanow returned nothing, but windows backup returned quite a few lines similar to the following....
- Windows Backup skipped C:UsersxxxxxDocuments because is it on corrupted drive C:. - Windows Backup skipped c:UsersPublicvideos because is it on corrupted drive C:. - Windows Backup skipped c:UsersxxxxxAppDataLocalLow because is it on corrupted drive C:.
I have been getting freezes a lot. I have run all the hardware diagnostics and everything checks out ok. I tried to run chkdsk from a c prompt but I get the message "Access denied as you do not have sufficient privileges. You have to invoke this utility running in elevated mode." This is my home computer and I am the only one using it so I have not set up any user accounts. Why don't I have full privileges?
My laptop has been running extremely slowly lately. It takes longer than usual to load regular programs and any web browser activity takes ages. I have run malware (Malwarebytes) and virus scans (Microsoft Security Essentials) and removed some items. Malwarebytes didn't detect much, but I found a trojan with Security Essentials. However, after removal my problems persist. I have scanned and attempted recovery of bad sectors. Issues were found and fixed, but a disk check was said to be necessary. I tried running chkdsk c: /F, but the disk check cancelled within a fraction of a second on startup.
I was on the internet this morning and suddenly I lost connection to the internet, I'm connected by ethernet so I tried a different cord and it wouldn't recognize anything, that there was a connection what so ever. So I restored to a previous date assuming the new update, as usual, screwed my laptop up. Same issue happened, but then this time as administrator I cant run chkdsk, tells me access is denied and that I don't have sufficient privileges, even though I am the administrator and only user on the laptop. Also troubleshooting things, anything, it can't continue due to an error, it the details of the error it used to say Restricted but now it says Elevated, like the chkdsk thing as well which mentions that I have to invoke the utility running in elevated mode. My internet after shutting down is back but I'm still confused.
1.For the past week been having issue with rpcnet.exe or something like that..i think it's a file that is included with dell lojack but I never paid for it so don't know why it's there. My Anvir program said new startup program with rpcnet was trying to load and I hit quarantine or delete every boot up. it seemed to appear every time I rebooted for days then and then just disappeared after a few more days
2.Being worried, I downloaded at least 3 other malware programs and ran them...no issues...
3.Last week updated to zonealarm 10.2 from 10.1. it now includes antivirus so I had to disable it because I use essentials...it took a reboot to 'take' but the antivirus did remain off then
4.As I told you before, that malwarebyte program was apparently doing more than ZA but I decided not to use it for real time protection and disabled it. All manual scans showed all ok
5.Thinking comodo may be a better firewall that ZA, I installed it yesterday morning. It installed ok but then crashed upon reboot to complete the install
6.In safe mode I tried to do system restore and it said C disk structure error and would I like to run chkdisk upon reboot..yes!
7.For the next few hours I tried every trick I could...wouldn't do a chkdsk..tried last good known configuration upon boot, tried the command prompt as an administrator..did chkdsk /f and /r and even one other one..never ran..ever..not even on reboot. Thing is I could stay in safe mode and surf the web and try to find answers with no worries..no errors at all. But when I rebooted, BSOD..the error codes I got lead to some sort of disk error..i couldn't defrag nor chkdsk. Heck the C drive still to this day doesnst show up as being able to be defragged but I only have 2 gigs of memory left on the machine so it probably cant be?
8.I uninstalled comodo with a generic uninstaller but since it crashed after I installed it, I thought comodo was the problem 9.I decided to do msconfig and then uncheck a bunch of things starting up..i unchecked so many when I rebooted it actually did work and boot OK! I also meanwhile uninstalled ZA to rule that out as an issue.
10.When I booted up, Anvir asked me about 75 things starting up with the machine, I saw most were Microsoft but got tired of hitting ACCEPT after about 30. So left the rest turned off for now.
11.Reinstalled ZA 10.2 and got immediate BSOD upon completion of install. I'm assuming this means it wasn't my other programs at and it just coincidentally worked because I deleted ZA and then unchecked startup items at the same time.
12.Went to safe mode and removed ZA
13.Reinstalled ZA 10.1 and got immediate BSOD
14.Deleted ZA and all works well. It HAS to be ZA that is the issue..correct?
15.Still cannot run chkdsk but the C drive does show up under the disk management screen
16.I also ran some other scan (SFS file check??) and that said was errors but I cant fix them since no chkdsk The machine seems to be back to "normal" now, I have just windows firewall on plus essentials antivirus. But I do want another firewall. I just think something is really fishy that I cannot run chkdsk and confirm the disk is ok. I cant find my dell windows 7 recovery disk but I have a full XP disk and tried to run it to get to recovery console but I got a BSOD with that disk and never got into it even. So any ideas what would prevent chkdsk from running even though I hit yes when it asks me to do it upon reboot? I cannot get over the nagging feeling something else is wrong here. one time I did get something about a dirty 'something' being set on the machine so I'm not sure if that's whats preventing me from running chkdisk.

Background: Laptop decides to randomly restart from time to time while I am playing poker and using a HUD display/hand reading program, VPN, & poker software. Not a huge load on the system, somewhat HD intensive with the hand reading from the HD.
This is the related error: Source: Kernel-Power Level: Critical Event ID: 41 It's happened 51 times since 9/14/11. No error code I've turned off where it reboots on a critical error, so I can see if I can generate an error code.
I decided to do CHKDSK, fell asleep & woke to the attached BSOD.
I have been getting BSODs for awhile now unfortunately. At first I thought it was my power supply not supplying enough power anymore because it's 2+ years old and has been through many builds.Well, I ran Memtest last night just to be sure, and after waking up 8 hours later, Memtest had reported over 450+ errors, this was with BOTH ram sticks inserted / being tested.My timings were set as they should be (9-9-9-24-2t command rate and 1.5v DRAM voltage).I'm currently testing 1 stick at a time to see if the errors pop up on one stick only. Now, in the BIOS, I have the timings set to 9-9-9-24-2t command rate, 1.5v DRAM voltage, but in Memtest it says: CAS: 6-6-6-20 / Single Channel (when testing one stick only)
ive been getting BSODs and finally figured out how to debug it with WinDbg (x86) and set the symbols for windows but i cant read the text. ive tried reinstalling my GPU and Java but no luck. when i try to run intel driver update utility as soon as i run it i get a BSOD ive got the minidump here if anyone knows how to read it, so here you go.

I am trying to load/run Outlook 2003 on Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit. I was able to load it and move over my pst files from my old machine but every time I open outlook I get an ( outlook.exe error - no hard drive).
First off my power supply went out. It was a 450watt one I ordered and replaced it with a 750watt power supply. After I replaced the power supply, my computer would not boot, When the power supply went out it was in the middle of updating windows. So I formatted the hard drive and did a clean install of windows, reloaded all my drivers and extra programs. At that point my computer was running great.
I decided to uninstall Bing tool bar, and windows live sign in assistant. it prompted my to reboot. When I rebooted the computer, after about 30 minutes it still had not come up to the desktop, I could boot up in safe mode and it would run fine. I did a system restore, no change, I did a start up repair, no change, Tested the memory it came back fine.
At that point and reformatted the hard drive again, I had another hard drive formatted it and put the install CD in and after 8 hours it is still trying to install Windows 7, No errors just really really slow. So I have replaced the power supply, hard drive, and ran a memory test with no errors, done a clean install of windows. Running Windows 7 64 bit, 4 gig of Ram, 2.8 dual core processor, 1 gig video card, 500 gig hard drive.
My Information Bar is not showing, so I can't activate the ActiveX Control (I tried to do a Windows Update today and the computer will not do same without the ActiveX Control, which I can't get because there is no Information Bar to make that possible). How do I get the Information Bar to show up on my IE 8 screen (I understand that it should be right under the Address Window)? I think that, when Microsoft installed IE 8 for me a short time ago during an automatic update procedure, even though I had not asked for that to be done, that is when the Information Bar disappeared. I'm just guessing at that, but I think that is when that happened
I tried to do a routine (once a year) chkdsk via the command prompt Code: > chkdsk /r > shutdown /r /f /t 1 . And upon the reboot, all I get is a black screen, no cursor, with ~4 rows of rainbow, garbled pixels at the very top of the monitor (certain pixels occasionally change colours). This occurs before the windows splash screen. I have left the computer as is, hoping it will eventually boot on its own with no luck. This was just a routine check. Some more information, I dual-boot with Ubuntu. I can mount and access the windows partition from Ubuntu, and I even ran ntfsfix in Ubuntu (which has some analogous functionality to chkdsk), but it didn't notice any problems.
i've been having bsod on win 7 for over a week, i have had these problems previously, win 7 32bit to 64bit reinstall worked last time. this time i have tried installing win 8 pro 64bit to separate ssd drive. clean install, also having similar issues. i've started debugging some of the dumps. a few have pointed to avg and the gpu. i uninstalled avg and used driver sweeper to remove video, sound and ethernet drivers. this had only made the bsod take slightly longer to happen. sometimes the are happen under load (utorrent and playing bangbang racing), other time just Internet, and even while idle(just utorrent). i have stress tested the gpu, cpu, and run check on ram and hdd. i am leaning to faulty motherboard but i don't want to fork out for a new one until i cam be 100%.
i am getting random bsod's lately. pc worked fine then 1 time i got a bsod and since that i keep getting them randomly. i installed a fresh window version but i stil get those bsod's . i think it could have to do something with memory orso . but since im getting diferent error codes im not sure what it can be. the errors apear mostly at or right after startup. and sometimes just when the pc is on for some time . i attached the file requested and hope that someone here knows where i should look for to fix this.
So my pc has been randomly freezing and locking up after an hour or two of use and i cant figure out why. I have updated my graphics card and bios.I have tried both ram sticks in individually into the first slot, so unless both ram sticks went bad at the exact same time, they should be ok. I did try to run memtest overnight, but upon waking i found that the pc had restarted.I have cleaned out the pc of dust, and the heat seems fine on cpu, gpu, and mobo.I have run a full av scan with malware bytes and cleared up registry and temp files with ccleaner.
My system had been very slow and hanging for a while now, so i decided to to check for errors in my drive C. Since then anytime i put on system it show the BSOD at approximately 3 minutes after booting. Currently my system only works fine in safe mode.
I have run memtest and dskchk in dos to verify RAM and HDD integrity because I was getting lots of pc lock-ups where the only thing to do was hard shutdown.The two most recent errors i got was driver_irql_not_equal_or_less with stop: 0x000000C4,the other page_fault_in_nonpagedarea with win32k.sys error, no stop code.
I have been trying to resolve some BSOD I got on my PC. To do this I also re-installed windows several times. I build and install everything by myself for years, but this is the first PC with a lot of BSODs. I used the Debugging Tool for windows to check the minidumps by myself, but as far as my knowledge goes, I didn't find anything special in there. The only thing that was obvious was that in all BSODs the ntoskrnl.exe was involved. This was something BlueScreenView revealed also. In my opinion however it seems there is more to it, since the ntoskrnl.exe could probably also crash because of another driver or hardware problem.On my previous fresh Windows 7 Install I did found out once that alot of BSOD I had at that time were caused by a bad Creative driver for my X-Fi. On the web I found a useful hint, because other X-Fi users pointed to the beta-drivers for the card. The official Creative drivers are almost two years older then these beta drivers, so obviously the beta drivers should be the first choice. These drivers are the ones I use now. I also had some problem with my OCZ Vertex 3 MI, like most owners of this hardware, and the problem was the unstable firmware. I am using the latest firmware now, which is 2.15, and that made the system alot more stable. The third problem is happening in POST: my logitech G110 keyboard features an USB hub and connection for media. These kind of USB keyboards had some problem with recognision and initialisation in the UEFI BIOS. For that I also updated to the latest BIOS for my motherboard.
All in all you can see I discovered and tried to fix a lot of different causes for BSODs. I also ran memtest once on the system for two hours, but this was in Dual Channel setup. Didn't gave any errors anyway.The latest minidump is created by the use of Verifier. I turned verifier on to test the two drivers for my AMD HD6970(crossfired). After 5 minutes in windows the BSOD appeared. I am using AMD Catalyst 12.1 drivers. I tried this, because the BSODs all are different then the ones I had on previous Windows 7 installations (on the same pc), but the only thing I changed in the current installation, was the AMD 12.1 drivers.I reinstalled windows about two weeks ago, after using Secure Erase on my SSD. I installed only the latest drivers for all the things that need drivers. The complete installation, including windows updates and drivers, was without any fault. One day later the first BSOD appeared, etc. I use the system to play Battlefield 3 only, since the fresh install. Strangely, I played more then 50 hours in the game, without any crash or BSOD! The new AMD FX-8150 processor is the first to support native 1866 MHz DDR3. The motherboard specification showed that the board supported 1866 (OC), thus it's seen as an overclock. I set all settings in bios like the ram specificiation told, which is: 9-11-9-27 2T @1.65V. Still, it could be that the 1866 MHz is too much on standard NB voltages? It's something I couldn't find an answer to on the internet, and since I never overclock I don't have that much experience with the voltages.
All BSODs happened in different situations, like just after windows log in, or when I start a program, or when idling, or when browsing the internet.Since I couldn't figure out any more usefull details out of the minidumps, I hope someone here with more experience could check the attached files.
Computer is a few years old, a home build, running Windows 7 Home Premium x64. Haven't really had too many problems other than the occasional BSOD or random restart, but it's gotten a lot worse lately so I wanna get to the bottom of it.The two errors I've gotten are Memory Management and System Service Exception, both seem to be linked to the ntoskrnl.exe file. I also ran the System File Checker and got the following error reported: "Cannot repair member file [l:24{12}]"kerberos.dll" of Microsoft-Windows-Security-Kerberos". Lastly I ran the windows memory diagnostic and it detected several hardware errors.
1)A system restore to a couple weeks ago 2)Repair the system/OS with my Windows 7 disc 3)Replace the RAM
Wanted to post here before I try any of those though. Whew ok sorry to be long winded but wanted to provide as much info as possible.
I have had a very solid stable system since 2010, then I decided 6 GB of RAM and a 9800GT/GTX560Ti wasn't enough. I sold these parts away and replaced them with 24 GB of RAM and a GTX560Ti 448 edition. The instant I throw these new parts into my box I start getting the two different BSoD errors (the ones in the title). I have cleared everything of my previous overclocks with the upgraded components.System Specs: (bolded is what was introduced to the system which created the errors)Windows 7 Professional x647 930EVGA 132-BL-E758 (Motherboard)EVGA GTX560Ti 448 FTW EditionPatriot Extreme Performance (24 GB of RAM)If you need to know anything besides the core components that I have, let me know. Attached are the dump files.
The story so far:I have ran Memtest overnight on all the sticks of RAM and nothing comes up, it claims they're all good. I'm not sure how to test the graphics card, but what I can tell you is that I can login to Windows and within 5 minutes the BSoD shows itself. When in safe mode, (where I am right now), it runs more stable, but I have had it BSoD in here as well; It's just nowhere near as often. So, this makes me think its not hardware related and hopefully it's not because I have no other RAM sticks or graphics card to test with.My thoughts:I only used 3 of the 6 slots for RAM on the motherboard before this upgrade so initially I thought maybe I had a bad slot. I can't disprove that, but I still get the BSoD when using only 1 stick of RAM in a slot that was previously known as working. I uninstalled the graphics driver for my old GTX560Ti and downloaded the latest driver for my new graphics card and still get a BSoD.
After a long time of trying to fix this problem by myself, i turn to the pro's for help I've been having a lot of BSOD errors while playing games and occasionally during browsing / playing movies on my pc. The most common error messages include:
After some research i thought it might be the RAM, so i went to the pc shop and my RAM was still under warranty so they gave me a new one and the problem seemed to have gone for a short time, then it came back and has been haunting me ever since. It usually occurs during gaming: the pc eithers shows a BSOD, or the sound loops and the screen is full of blue/red/green lines or it just resets. I added some minidump files of the latest crashes, hope it helps to determine the problem.Might it have something to do with my old BIOS version? 14.04 dated 28/05/2010?
