I've got like a two-months old Windows 8.1 system, and I've been trying to keep an eye on the event logs, to see if there's any error events I need to try to get fixed. Today I spotted the first one that really concerns me.
In the System events log, there's an Error type event with id number 138 from source "Ntfs (Ntfs)". Unfortunately my Windows is not English language, so I'm not really sure about what the error message would exactly be in English, but I'd translate it something like this from the original Finnish: "Events resource manager encountered a serious error in target C:\. It was shut down. The data contains the error code." I googled around, and I think I found the English version of that event, or at least something that sounds suspiciously the same, and it is this: "The transaction resource manager at C:\ encountered a fatal error and was shut down. The data contains the error code". Immediately after this error event there's a warning event 134 from the same source of "Ntfs (Ntfs)", and that event probably says this: "The transaction resource manager on volume C:\ encountered an error during recovery. The resource manager will continue recovery." These events appear to have happened during one of those many times the system is idle for a few minutes and starts doing some "maintenance" on its own in the background. There's only one (each) of these error/warnings in the log so far. I checked with a filter and there haven't been other errors like these ever on this system.
My question: What is this error event, and should I be concerned it means my hard drive has decided to start falling apart? It's a new drive (WD Black) and I haven't spotted any other signs of failure (yet)... If I open the C drive's properties in Explorer and use the error-checking tool thing, it runs quickly and says there are no errors on the drive. I'd appreciate any help. Hardware problems are scary. Dealing with software I can (mostly) manage, but when things physically break it's a little much for me... :/
