BSOD? Do nothing further, except this:

Create a new thread for that.

@Golden I have already a thread. I'll just update it.

Which one? You need to sort out the BSOD first before anything else.

Rain08 · 06 Nov 2012

@Golden: What do you mean which one? And sorting the BSOD?

He means, you should straighten out your BSOD issue in normal mode b4 you fix this problem. I reckon.

you can't 'avoid' chkdsk, if your disk is marked by the system, it will run automatically prior to login. there is no other utility that does what chkdsk does to repair a faulty file system.

if you can't run explorer, but can get to task manager or a command prompt (or safe mode with command prompt at startup via the f8 key) try running 'sfc /scannow' (without quotes of course) to replace any damaged system files.

I doubt that check disk is your problem, but rather either malware or hardware failing or corrupted system files. Try running a scan with a reputable AV and MalwareBytes AntiMalware.

HTH

Not to take the thread off track, but I've got to agree with Sir George. Then again, maybe I'm not taking it off track if the BSOD issue is going to be addressed in a new thread.

Either way, it seems the negativity regarding the use of chkdsk should be addressed.

It's not likely caused by chkdsk. A chkdsk run that fouls things up is typically caused by something else. Most often (my experience) it's going to be a problem with the drive itself. The drive is having problems whether chkdsk is run on it or not (but running chkdsk can aggravate recovery attempts). But it could be a memory problem as well. Whatever it is, it's almost always caused by something else.

Only use the symptoms for analyzing what the source of the problem may really be.

Matter of fact, a memory or hard drive issue could be the source of the BSOD troubles as well.

Correct - the problem is the BSOD, not chkdsk. Which thread contains your BSOD information? You need to solve that first, before trying to solve chkdsk problems.

Could you please post a link relating to the BSOD thread, then we can help you solve the BSOD, and see if it is causing the problems with the Disk Check program.

Here's the BSOD thread that I made (https://www.sevenforums.com/crashes-d...ment-bsod.html), It's not yet solved, And there are some pop-ups that appear saying that it can't find the file.
