Random auto-Chkdsk at startup of Windows 7 Professional 64-bit. CHKDSK is also unstable and freezes a lot in doing so.

Hello

I recently installed Windows 7 64-bit Professional RTM on my Acer Aspire 6920 G computer laptop. I've also updated my OS with the latest patches via Windows Update (critical and recommended updates). However, I've known a few teething problems associated with automated chkdsk in Windows 7.

My problem:
With all the updates in place, I was starting and stopping my laptop normally. However, a few days earlier, just after the Windows 7 logo splash screen, the chkdsk program automatically has repeatedly randomly proceeded to run. Sometimes, the program freezes and does not meet all keyboard and mouse features, it still freezes when I hit esc during the countdown to cancel to run chkdsk (I have to manually hit the "restart" button to restart). Other times it runs correctly, the entire process took about 30 minutes and there is no error. If it runs successfully, it would not rerun for several reboots. However, chkdsk finally appears again and the process starts all over.

I tried the things:
1. I went to reinstall Windows 7 to try to resolve the problem. I deleted the entire partition and did a clean install of Windows 7. Both have been in vain.

2. I read in several forums and discovered that by changing the registry BootExecute to its default value "autocheck autchk *" for "autocheck autochk / k: C *" I can stop chkdsk from starting automatically. I tried, and this solution has been a success. However, I also fear that if my HARD drive starts to fail, I don't know about it.

So I was wondering what was causing the problem and if there is a real solution, and not just a workaround.

Thank you
