View reliability history: What to look for

[arjfca]

Hello

I got another running but problem still unresolved. So I may brake a rule if so pleas delete this post. This is a great community and I don't want to brake any rules.

Trough Google, I found this tool: View reliability history

Attach is a snap picture.

It look to have so many error. Can I pinpoint a source for all of them?
Is it hardware, software, both ????

My un-experience bring me to suspect my SSD drive. But not sure how to test it

Any help really appreciated

The red X is for an application or Windows error. You can get details by poking the X with your mouse. Maybe applications crashing or Windows not shutting down properly.

Doesn't look too bad to me. I've seen worse. It will vary over time.

Not likely to be your SSD.

What does it look like when you view by week instead of days? Is it much worse in the last week than it has been over the last 3 or 4 months?

Thanks you Ignatzstsonic for your input

I seem to have different kind of problem. Many error seem to be around volume and drive errors.

A drive H: partitioned on the SSD and mentioned to be used by the system, as been filled completely. Can't see what it is use for. I suppose it is to handle bad sectors

I did a memory test before and no fault found

Any suggestion on test to do to pinpoint error or problem

For sure, I don't wan't to spend ,money on a new drive to found out that the problem is persisting.

This tutorial should be helpful.

Looks there's a problem with your System Reserved partition...It should be at least 100Mb as it is the System files in it to be accessible by pressing F8 at boot.

Are you able to open the Advanced Boot Options ?

You can try first to:
SFC /SCANNOW Command - System File Checker

and then:
Startup Repair - Run 3 Separate Times


There's is also the option to delete it then recreate the Boot Loader/BCD by Startup Repair:

System Reserved Partition - Delete


Or do Repair Install :

Could you do this tutorial by Golden?

Thank you Non for your help.

I'm so "green" in the field....

Is drive H: is the reserved partition?
If so, how do I increased it size?

Scannow done with no flaw, now, will do the repair Windows 3 times

System Reserved partitions normally should not have a drive letter.

A picture of Windows Disk Management might help.

If need be, System Restore can be enlarged, most likely with Partition Wizard.

Hello ignatzatsonic

Attached, a picture of the disc Management. Hope it is what you asked

Disk 0 is a hard disk use for data
Disk 1 is the SSD with Windows and divers program application

I don't parley vous, but it looks to me like you have your boot files on the F partition on Disk 0. Boot files should normally be on the same drive as the C partition.

Windows is on disk 1, C partition.

You have 2 system reserved partitions. You need only 1, at most.

System Reserved should not have a drive letter.

I think you need to copy your boot files from F to H. And then delete F. I assume disk 0 is purely for data. But H is quite small and should probably be enlarged.

Or you could simply copy your boot files to C and then delete both "system reserved" partitions. You need the boot files, but they can be on C or on system reserved. I don't use system reserved on my own PC.

I have no idea if these issues are related to your reliability history issues.

And you probably want to make the C partition show as being part of "disk 0" rather than "disk 1". You'd do that by swapping cables at the motherboard. This isn't critical.

Let others comment. You've got quite a mess and I have a language barrier to some extent.

I see. The mix could have been done 2 years ago when I installed a ssd. Drive G was my drive C with Windows installed on it. I used the software to move Windows to the new drive, but it seem to have kept
some data on the old driveé

System was stable until few week ago, now it crash sometime with a blue screen and reload.

At the moment, I'm trying to enlarge drive H with Partition Wizard
I will unconnect the hard disk and see if PC is acting normally

What is the content of drive F and H. I suppose that drive F is the old Windows installation.

ignatzatsonic, thanks again for your generous help

As things stand now, I'd guess you cannot boot with Disk 0 disconnected. Can you confirm that?

Yes, the oddities shown in Windows Disk Management probably occurred when you moved to an SSD.

If you have no luck enlarging H with Partition Wizard, you can use EasyBCD to copy your boot files from F to C.

Here's a tutorial:

http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/209885-bootmgr-move-c-easybcd.html

Notice that your F partition is marked "system". That means your boot files are on that partition.

Notice that your H partition is NOT marked "system". I don't think your boot files are on H, but they should be on H or on C. Right now, I'm not sure if H has any purpose at all.

ok
Partition Wizard was not able to extend the drive because to space was to fragmented. Now, I'm doing a defrag on the SSD.

I thought that it was not needed to do it on SSD. It seem to be quite long

A look at drive F using Partition Wizard show that the drive is not use every day. Last time was August 5.

Bad form to defragment an SSD, but it won't ruin it. Not sure it will ultimately do you any good.

Personally, I'd copy boot files to C and get rid of both system reserved partitions entirely.

Can you or can't you boot with Disk 0 disconnected?

Hello again

I did succeed to defrag and reallocate space to H:
I did try to load from SSD.... You where right, it did nor boot
I did the Windows repair and PC is running with the SSD

I will reinstall the hard drive and get ride of the F partition
Since the repair did create a new drive, I will get rid of the H drive to

Turning off the PC to do this task
