    Hi Johnny.

    From the start to the end, there is one event predominantly present in the event log.
    Code:
    Event[34999]:
      Log Name: System
      Source: Disk
      Date: 2013-06-20T17:04:52.959
      Event ID: 11
      Task: N/A
      Level: Error
      Opcode: N/A
      Keyword: Classic
      User: N/A
      User Name: N/A
      Computer: johnnyolsen-PC
      Description: 
    The driver detected a controller error on \Device\Harddisk4\DR10.
    Guessing this one is one of your USB discs. In that case, I would suggest you to update nusb3xhc.sys, NEC Electronics USB 3.0 Host Controller Driver . It is too old.
    Code:
    fffff880`03ecd000 fffff880`03efd000   nusb3xhc   (deferred)             
        Image path: \SystemRoot\system32\DRIVERS\nusb3xhc.sys
        Image name: nusb3xhc.sys
        Timestamp:        Fri Jan 22 08:52:21 2010 (4B5919ED)
        CheckSum:         00030E44
        ImageSize:        00030000
        Translations:     0000.04b0 0000.04e4 0409.04b0 0409.04e4
    You can try to get your appropriate driver from RENESAS/NEC Drivers & Firmwares.

    Also, uninstall intel rapid storage. First uninstall it from Control Panel > Programs and Features. Then Uninstall the driver from device manager.

    1. Right click on "my computer" icon and click "manage" on the context menu.
    2. It will open the "computer management" window.
    3. Select "Device Manager" in the left pane, It will list all the existing devices up.
    4. Expand "IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers" by clicking on the triangle in front of it.
    5. Select one Intel device item under it, right click, uninstall.
    6. Continue the process for all Intel items under "IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers"
    7. Now restart the computer. At restart, windows will auto configure the appropriate native system driver.

    Do some Disc checks.

    1. Update your SSD's Firmware
    2. Reseat the sata and power.
    3. Run chkdsk /f/r, following the option two of the tutorial Disk Check
    4. Seatool for dos: SeaTools | Seagate download
      • Burn it in a blank cd. boot from the CD, click on "Accept", wait for it to finish detecting the drives, then in the upper left corner select "Basic Tests", then select "Long Test" and let it run.
      • You can use Win32 DiscImager to create a bootable USB and run Seatools for DOS. Follow this post to know how to make a bootable Seatools USB.


    Scan the system for possible virus infection with the following programs only.


    Let us know when done. If the issue persists, we have to take a different approach.

    thanks, i ran a check disk and fixed the disk errors. i think the real culprit is the NEC usb 3.0 controller. i have the latest version of the driver though. what's the next step? use older drivers in succession until one works? also, any reason why this just started? i've had this computer for two years and haven't had this issue until 6 months ago. the usb 3.0 driver hasn't changed. it just seems odd. thanks so much for the help :)

    looked at the motherboard and found the version, got the driver and it's WORKING!!! i had updated the USB 3.0 driver before, but it wasn't good enough. this was driving me insane. can't begin to thank you enough. if you ever need some free photos, don't hesitate to call if you're ever in los angeles. :)
