Hibernate makes Windows think drive is dying
My 8-month-old Win 7 PC had been running without problems until I started using Sleep and Hibernate modes. After waking it from hibernate I started to get a regular Windows warning about a hard disk problem, ie “Windows detected a hard disk problem” etc. Did a backup of course and ran Check Disk which reported no problems on the Samsung HD502HJ 500GB drive.
Rebooted and stopped using sleep or hibernate, no problem. Went to hibernate and shortly after waking the problem returned. Rebooted and no problem has appeared.
It sounds very strange but can hibernating the PC make Windows think the HD is dying?
Any advice gratefully received.
