672258 2008-05-24 22:18:00 Last week I defragged my D drive (not windows) and as far as I can remember it all went well.

However now when I play music and stuff from it it will skip like billy-o, then blue screen. Playing games from C: is fine, no probs.

So I've run a chkdsk via D: Properties/Tools and it picks up a number of errors (inserting record into ..., and some other ones), but each time I run it they same problems are there so its not fixing them, and sometimes it just hangs on stage 4, so I have to reboot.

I thought maybe another defrag might sort it out, probly not, but anyway it hung on 20% for a long long time, so I needed to reboot that too, probably not a good thing.

Any ideas for a course of action? Will I need to reformat?

672259 2008-05-24 22:22:00 What program did u use to defrag? If the windows one, do it in safe mode

WHAT does the blue screen say?? Whats it show?? 0xxxx ?? Does it show the name of a driver / file?

A folder or a file on D maybe corrupted

672260 2008-06-03 07:20:00 Hi Speeedy.

I used the windows defrag.

I have received a few more blue screens. The error reads:

Machine_check_exception

stop: 0x0000009C (0x00000004,0x805461Fo,0xB2000000,0x00070f0f)

I have downloaded a windows memory test, and that passed ok. chkdsk still crashes on phase 4 on D:.

672261 2008-06-03 07:24:00 You doing any of this ? (support.microsoft.com) Speedy Gonzales (78)
672262 2008-06-03 09:27:00 thanks for that, looks like a cpu problem. Have run Prime95 for an hour and it didn't pick up any errors, and before that I have taken out 1gig of ram and replaced my 8800GT with a 6600 to see if it was a power problem (seemed other people had suggested this).

Still locks up on stage 4 of chkdsk tho (now my test).

so I've been sitting here doing nothing for a while and the hard drive still seems to be working away, is that normal? I'm not running any programs other than firefox.

672263 2008-06-03 11:46:00 This may or may not provide some info - click start/run type in eventvwr Press Enter, look at the log files under both system & Application at the exact time(s) the PC blue screens look for a error message, double click it to expand and copy paste the complete message back here. While looking in the log files, look for one called "Disk" - (in red) are there any clusters of them.
As the first line of the link speedy posted says -
This behavior occurs because your computer processor detected and reported an unrecoverable hardware error to Windows XP some part of the hardware appears to be failing maybe.

672265 2008-06-05 11:53:00 I have six Errors (3 different ones x 2) under system and none under Application in event viewer for the latest crash. They are side by side errors.

The errors are:

Dependent Assembly Microsoft.VC80.MFCLOC could not be found and Last Error was The referenced assembly is not installed on your system.

Resolve Partial Assembly failed for Microsoft.VC80.MFCLOC. Reference error message: The referenced assembly is not installed on your system.

Generate Activation Context failed for C:\WINDOWS\WinSxS\x86_Microsoft.VC80.MFC_1fc8b3b9a 1e18e3b_8.0.50727.163_x-ww_39049d00\MFC80U.DLL. Reference error message: The operation completed successfully.


after a bit of a google, seems I may need to install some MS Visual C++ 2005 Redist.? Does everyone have this?

672266 2008-06-05 12:18:00 ah, after running chkdsk and the pc crashing at phase 4 I checked the event viewer and sure enough there are several Disk errors (after the same side by side ones again).

Error reads:
The device, \Device\Harddisk0\D, has a bad block.

googling that now...

672267 2008-06-05 12:22:00 Sounds like the hard drive has bad sectors.
Doing the defrag may have moved data into the dodgy areas.
I would be doing a backup ASAP as the drive might be about to fail.
