Here is the new msinfo file. I tested this one to make sure it opens before I uploaded it.
Ensure the Crucial SSD firmware is up to date.
Diagnostics Test
HDD TEST
Run SeaTools to check the integrity of your HDD. SeaTools for DOS and Windows - How to Use - Windows 7 Help Forums
Run following tests
- Short Drive Self Test
- Short generic
- Long generic
If the short generic fails, no need for the long generic.
NoteDo not run SeaTools on an SSD as the results will be invalid.
Make a photo of the result and post it.
Run chkdsk
Disk Check - Windows 7 Help Forums
Upload the chkdsk log Check Disk (chkdsk) - Read Event Viewer Log
Run HDTune to
- scan for errors, no quick scan but full scan
- check the health,
- benchmark.
It may take some time, but please take the time you need to perform it properly.
When above is done please make screenshots of the following
- the error scan,
- the health,
- the benchmark incl. following
- transfer rate,
- access time,
- burst rate,
- cpu usage.
In your instructions it says to run SeaTools, but then it says:
Do not run SeaTools on an SSD as the results will be invalid.
My hard drive is SSD.
Should I skip running Seatools and run the others chkdsk and HD Tune?
My reply is a standard reply when testing the hard drives, skip SeaTools for SSD as it says..
Thanks,
I ran the tests. Here are the screenshots. Also the crucial SSD is not upgraded to the highest firmware. It looks like it is behind an iteration. I need to backup the hard drive in order to upgrade. Should I go ahead and back up the hard drive and upgrade the firmware? It will probably take me a while to make sure everything is backed up correctly. Let me know if I missed something with the tests.
Please run the chkdsk command again to see if there still are corrections that need to be made.
Here is the txt file for the new chkdsk check.
That looks better :)
See if you get problems again.
IMHO it shouldn't be a question necessary to ask, because I asked to do itShould I go ahead and back up the hard drive and upgrade the firmware?
Ok, I will go ahead and try and upgrade the firmware today.
It seems like the Blue screens have either stopped or slowed down tremendously.
The last confirmed blue screen I saw was on the 24th. There was an indication of one on the 26th, but I think I might have manually caused that shut down.
Anyway, after I upgrade the firmware and monitor a bit longer, I will mark this a solved.
Thank You!
