Several error messages... HARD drive may be bad?

I'll try to do this as no confused as possible.  Almost a week ago, I had a .sys file go bad on my Vista pc.  Re-installed windows.  Today, I was in the middle of a game and it crashed gives me a blue screen with an error of paging file and perhaps said a driver of command was bad (I don't take to take a break and read entirely at the time).  Reboot the pc and it says windows does not start.  Restart using the disc repair system, ran, and he informed me that he fixed something in the hard drive and run the control disc.  It started but I tried to click on all programs informed me that a device was bad.  So I put it to run chkdsk when it restarted, and he says that he was unable to open the drive.  Now whenever I reboot I get a blue screen or error message different each time that involve a driver or a bad camera.  OK fine I'll just reinstall windows again and format the HDD.  After several attempts, I finally get to start the installation of windows and mid install, I got a blue screen with error PFN_LIST_CORRUPT.  Should I throw in the towel and recognize that the drive is bad?  All except one error messages involve bad drivers or external devices, but I have no device, except the keyboard and mouse attached.  Maybe potential virus?   It crashes when I try to enter the BIOS, almost forgot to mention that.

If you want to get to the bottom of the problem, you go through stages of diagnosis, eliminating what it cannot be. The logic to do first are those that don't cost you money by, for example, to buy a new hard drive.

If you ran the diagnostic memory microsoft from a bootable CD or floppy, and then get the best test to use the T option and test each stick individually.

If you have another hard drive that you can use then it would also be proper diagnosis to try it to see what happened. Can put you the suspect drive in another PC, download and run the diagnostic disk from the manufacturer in this regard?

If not all get too much for you then I suggest take the PC to a local repair shop, ideally one that you can get a recommendation on.

I can't pass comment on your experience Ubuntu except to say that if it is a hardware error it will not go away, simply because you are using Ubuntu.

    I bought a whole new office 27 "Mac provided with Adobe CS6. Everything worked like a charm until the 1 TB hard drive, developed a bad sector and the Apple Store reinstalled a new I had extended warranty with them. They are recycled the disc immediately (like crazy, I don't ask for this return to get the data off it.) But fortunately, I have all my data on CrashPlan. I downloaded it and it was working fine except that I downloaded it on the desk and not the original location so he had succeed. I also have an external 1.5 TB drive that I wanted to make it bootable, so I installed Mavericks 10.9.3. Then I advanced and installed on disk newly installed too.

    I think that because I have a new reader that adobe thinks, I have a new computer. I bought the 27 "Mac new on Ebay and it came loaded with the software, including CS6. I have a serial number for CS6, but Adobe says that it was not valid. (I've owned CS2 and CS4 now CS6 that came preloaded on the Mac by the seller who told me that the software has been registered for the Mac?

    I'll re - download the backup to the original location but this time (I still don't think that it will work with Adobe.) What can I do about it?

  • HPE 570 T operating system failed - hard drive may be gone

    I have a HPE 570 T where exploitation would not start this weekend.  I got this computer a year and change.  I couldn't do it via safe mode and Windows 7 Startup Repair won't work.  I was able to reimage the hard drive and I was about one hour and was some windows updates and it died again.  Now it wont let me reimage and in BIOS diagnostics I get an error injury messages that the hard drive has failed.  I think that the hard drive is dead, or the SATA connection is dead. I don't know what else to do.

    I read that the SATA ports some time fail over time on these motherboards.  I wonder if I can buy an SSD and SATA III PCI card and start from scratch.   I I'm OK to do on this system.  If fail built-in SATA ports that could solve my problem in the long term.

    Any advice?  My computer is down for the count.

    Hello

    First of all check the warranty status for your HP HPE - 570 t.  Some of the HP PC come with a one year warranty more.

    Secondly, almost everyone buys a PC using a credit card.  Check with your credit card company and see if your credit card covers electronics for an additional year beyond the warranty period.  Several credit card companies provide this coverage free of charge.

    Start your PC in diagnostics (f2) and run diagnostics.

  • Display driver hangs on the computer and the error message "display driver NVIDIA Windows Kernel Mode Driver Version 306.97 has stopped working and recovered."

    Original title: NVIDIA Windows Kernel Mode Driver Version 306.97 display driver has stopped working and recovered.

    Hiya,

    I have recently installed Windows 8 Pro, installed all of my usual applications etc..
    The problem I've encountered is maintaining display driver crashing. Or have waiting periods. The exact error message reads;
    "Display driver NVIDIA Windows Kernel Mode Driver Version 306.97 has stopped working and recovered."
    Until now it expires randomly even when the computer is idle, and more frequently when I watch videos online. Also, watch a clip full screen on some sites like YouTube is ok, but on others, it is very laggy (updated maybe once per second the image) and the sound is out of sync.
    I can't find a way to properly uninstall the graphics driver.

    At least yours is working semi... I have the GTS 450 (uses the same drivers) and the mine does not at all... Stuck with the regular game pilot integrated ATM and can not all games... Microsoft told me to wait a few weeks and for the reminder and Nvida said 10 ways to uninstall and reinstall the drivers for same. Hope someone with to get a fix for this soon.

    Hi guys,.
    Looks like this isn't just me.
    Just an update, that I can not confirm it as a solution, but I have not encountered any problem (a little screenlag aside) since the installation of the drivers beta. For me, the beta version of the driver is 310.33, R130. The only other change to my system updates Adobe Flash version packaged with Google Chrome to 11.4.31X to 11.4.402 to eliminate serious problems when you watch the video in full screen.
    Information system;
    Operating system: Windows 8 Build Pro with Media Center 64-bit, 9200
    CPU: AMD FX-8150 eight physical cores
    GPU: ASUS NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 TI

    New edition;

    If you still receive the error message, try the following steps;
    Has. try to perform a clean installation of the driver.
    Download the latest drivers for your graphics card. Run the downloaded file, and select "Custom Installation". In the next screen, you will see a checkbox or similar labeled "Clean Install".
         

    You can do so by visiting nVidia Driver Downloads (www.nvidia.com/Drivers). Automatically detect the right driver or download using the form. The best way in my opinion is to use the GeForce experience, who will do anything for you in two clicks and a reboot.
    B. close all other programs
    It is possible that the error was caused by too many programs that need to use the resources provided by the graphics card/chip. It is also possible that a certain program caused a conflict that pilots crashed.
    You can try closing some currently open programs one by one and see if the error persists, or restart your system with disabled startup programs and allow them one by one to find the culprit. If the error is too persistent to do the above, it would be easier to start in safe mode option.

  • What does that mean? Hard drive error. Hard drive 1 3F1?

    The product name is hp pavilion dv4-6000

    Error message-

    A failure in the hard drive test indicates a physical problem with the hard drive. In other words, that it should probably be replaced. It is relatively in line with impatience, so you should be able to do it yourself. What is the exact model of the laptop number? I'll find detailed instructions for you.

    In case you do not want to replace the drive yourself, or if you feel that you can still be in warranty, I suggest to contact the HP Support for your region. If you are in the United States / Canada you can contact to the 1-800-474-6836. If you live outside this area, you will need to go to HP's Site's Support.

    In addition, you will need the recovery disc to restore the original operating system.  If you have any earlier, you can contact HP to get them.

  • Recurring HDD error - new hard drive

    I've been in contact with HP on a recurring problem with my g6 Pavillion - there periodically blue screen errors and then won't turn on, shows an error 'hard drive '. Then, he refuses to start up for anywhere from a few minutes to a few days. I sent it in for repairs, she returned with a new framework of screen (?). More hard drive errors. I called and they sent a new hard drive for me.

    Today, I installed the new hard drive. When I tried to start it for the first time, I was greeted with yet another error of hard disk. I ran a test, he said that the hard drive was fine (it used to say that before, sometimes too, which is probably why they do not have to replace it in the first place). Turned off and turned on again - it has started well.

    Now it works, but I don't feel no better about it because she had this initial error. Is this normal for a new disk hard failure right after having been hung? It has been installed of course very well, I'm typing this message on a fully functional laptop now. I'm tired of living on a portable player (it's a bit like living in a suitcase), so I should be grateful if you would ensure that the laptop is not just going to crash again, but it seems to me that the new hard drive will not be my solution.

    I have an extended warranty - but I don't have the luxury of time when it comes to sending, as I am a student full time and use the tutorials online every day.

    She would need replacement motherboard, which is not necessarily a death knell for the computer. Since you have a guarantee, it would be covered. Unfortunately, he would send it in for service. It could be done locally outside the warranty if you live in a decent sized city for maybe $ 300-350.

  • Error reading hard drive

    on startup, I get an error of hard disc.
    message also says press Ctrl/Alt/Del to restart.
    Sometimes it works and after doing this five or six times, the computer loads windows etc.
    Sometimes, I also have a read error when the computer is used and the system stops a car restart.
    The drive sounds very loud when I have this problem. Sound like something mechanical is to hit some sort of stop.
    As I could eventually get the PC works as it is now I think ther hard drive should be OK.
    This could be something to do with the hard disk driver?
    Has anyone else had this problem?
    Appreciate any help I can get.

  • HP Envy M6: My HARD drive is not bad on my computer? I have reloaded Win 8 and upgraded to Win 8.1 but he keeps crashing

    Hi need help and answers from an expert!

    My HP Envy M6 Recenly has stopped working correctly, so I decided to recover as soon as possible.  She still had the same problems, so I decided to restore factory with recovery USB flash drive I did.  Always had the same problem happens after I rebooted 8 Win and improved to 8.1.  It would work for a few minutes and stop working I used chkdsk and it says it fixed a few problems with the drive.

    I went through the same steps another 3 times!  After each time that once I had that he would be running again after a clean reinstall.  I would like to run chkdsk and it looks like he fixed some error, but last time, it wouldn't or couldn't find some files to run and crashed.  I tried loading Acronis and tried to reinstall the backup from there but that also failed to correct the problem.  I came to the conclusion that my HD is physically wrong?

    I guess the recovery process would reformat the partitions before you reinstall so it's not a logic error (software)?  From the recovery partition, the recovery Flash disk media and recovery software acronis can fix this, I can only assume, there is a problem with the drive itself?

    Is there a way to check this?  I don't mind replacing the drive to a SSD, so this isn't a problem, but I can't seem to find a product key.  Nothing printed on the bottom.  I read somewhere that it is now integrated with the motherboard bios so can I just use the recovery media that I did on a flash drive?

    Also, I have my backup file but I could never find the location of the image my wife loaded as the photo of "lock" screen which I do not have a copy of.  I have the backup files for windows 8.1 by Acronis and according to me, a Windows backup file on a backup drive, but I was wondering if these "locked screen hidden image" would be held somewhere in these data?  It is not under the images and I have never been able to find or understand where windows keeps this image.  I used the search without success.

    Of course, this is not critical, but I hate losing this particular image.  I hope it's keep somewhere in my back upward and when restoring with a new drive hard I can reload the backup and restore.

    So I really ned knowledge step by step: my HD is bad?  How can I check without having to spend hours to reload only to fail?

    Why chkdisk does not?  Or should I simply replace HD and if so what can I use the new disk recovery media and product ID will be accessible through the motherboard?

    I intend to upgrade to win 10, but I need Win 8 loading first, then move to 8.1 then move to Win 10?  Also in the future if it crashes how can I recover to win 10? Since it is free now but will not be later.  The upgrade will allow me to make a copy (a copy) to win 10?

    A lot of questions, but please provide the fastest solution to my problems and concerns.

    Thank you in advance!

    Hello fmhawaii ;

    I read your post on your PC crashing and wanted to help.

    It certainly seems that your hard drive has failed.  Some PC allows the drive to check in the BIOS: test a hard drive in the BIOS. HP® customer support

    If that confirms that the disc is bad, then you will need to replace it.

    As for activation, you are right in that, with Win8x machines, the product key is embedded in the motherboard UEFI firmware, however, the instructions in this link, show you how to recover: find product - key for Windows 8

    When you restore from recovery media, which is supposed to automatically read product key, so you will not have to enter something to activate reinstall it.  My guess is that the drive problems that prevented from happening.

    Acronis allows you to mount an image file by using a drive letter, and once you do this, you should then be able to browse through the content to find the file you want.  However, depending on what part of the logon icon changed, it might be embedded image in a Windows system file, and unless there is a separate copy of this image, it will be very difficult to recover.  IF you Google it, you might be able to find downloadable tools for disassembly of this file and subseuent extraction of this file.

    I wouldn't hurry to Win10, but if you choose to follow this path, don't forget to make a new advance Acronis backup, then you can return to a system of Win8x of work if something is wrong - as the Win10 GoBack function is known to be unreliable.

    Good luck
