My basic system specs can be found in my profile.
Windows 7 x65 retail
The system was first powered on on Jan 31, 2009 but I have since upgraded the hardware (graphics card, PSU, case, cooling system, added boot SSD).
The age of the OS install is just over a week, although I was having these problems in my previous OS install as well.
Now, down to business. My system has a 30GB boot SSD and a 1TB secondary drive. The SSD contains the OS installation and smaller programs. The HDD contains a symlinked user folder and larger programs. It also has the paging file. The hibernation file has been removed from the system to free up disk space.
I believe that my SSD is malfunctioning. Fairly often, my computer will blue screen (but always when I am not at my computer) and when it reboots, will give me a black screen with white text that reads something to the effect of "The system cannot boot because of a disk configuration problem. Please check hardware blah blah blah."
It is also worth noting that when I run Acronis True Image every 3 days, it gives me an error when it gets to the point of backing up my SSD. Apparently there is a CRC error.
I ran Acronis drive monitor and it tells me that the drive appears to be going bad as well.
I have attached the necessary information. Tell me if my suspicions are probably correct of if I am missing something.
