Hi, I'm running 8.1 and in the last 2-3 weeks my computer has been constantly experiencing freezes that can last from 5 minutes to over half an hour.
I've check the event viewer and see this item appear regularly: The device, \Device\Harddisk0\DR0, has a bad block.
It's usually accompanied with this message: Reset to device, \Device\RaidPort0, was issued.
And this pair of items are repeated 6-10 times before a gap.
Then the computer becomes responsive again.
I've run a chkdsk numerous times (using the chkdsk c: /offlinescanandfix command) and various other disk checking tools and they never seem to advise there's a problem. I would have thought that if there was a "bad block" that a chkdsk would find it and exclude it from use to avoid these issues, but no such outcome.
I downloaded Crystal Disk Info and it does show a "caution" status on drive C:. The item highlighted is Current Sector Pending Count. Just wondering what all of this means and how I can resolve this?
Thanks,
Pete
