The problem I'm having is that whenever i restart my computer or shut it down for a while and reboot my system a System disc check occurs.
It's telling me that there are no problems but this disc check keeps occurring.
Any suggestions to what I should do?
Assuming it boots to your desktop run a manual chkdsk from the command prompt with a repair option enabled... that should stop the loop, although it will require a reboot and must be allowed to complete the chkdsk cycle.
It'd also be a good idea to ensure SMART is enabled in the BIOS...
C:\chkdsk /f
Do you have a USB memory stick or a memory card of any kind plugged into a card reader? I have seen this cause repeated chkdsk operations on a few machines.
Hello Azntwinkie, and welcome to Seven Forums.
You might see if doing only the STEP THREE section in the tutorial below may be able to help.

Hope this helps,

Hey guys thanks for the suggestions. I'll make sure to try them out and tell you what happens or if the problem persists.
When I once had a similar problem, it was because one of my partitions (the one that it kept checking) was formatted as FAT32, rather than NTSF.
I had the same problem. Not sure if it was at every start up, but it was quite often. I made changes in two locations and the problem was solved. I found it in task scheduler and although this might not apply to you, my A/V Mcafee, had a tune up feature that was scheduling regular checks. Hope this or some of the other solutions works for you.
Hey Rich, what do I need to change in the task scheduler? This disc check is still occurring and I'm trying everyone's suggestions.
Azntwinkie,
In this case, you might consider doing a repair install to hopefully fix it without losing anything.
I actually tried disabling my disc check by changing my autocheck value in regedit to autocheck autochk /k:C *
DO you think this will work?
