It happens unexpectedly on your system.
It happens unexpectedly on your system.
I’m considering replacing the existing drive to check if that fixes the issue, since my current one is older than 1870 days. I only have a single RAM stick—8GB at 2666MHz—and my motherboard is an Asus Prime A320M-K, which should support those specs. From what I understand, the board is compatible with my RAM speeds.
It seems the issue isn't necessarily the operating system but could be related to the drive itself. Unless certain boot files or programs are present, it's worth testing without the drive first. If you plan to add another drive, consider a 500GB-1TB SSD or a 2TB HDD. A 1TB HDD won't be significantly cheaper than a 2TB one. Before using it again, securely erase the drive to check how many bad sectors it contains. If only those four are present and isolated, and the count stays stable, it should be safe to proceed.
Sure, I'll rephrase that for you.
I plan to just swap out the SATA cable, but if that doesn't help or the new drive still doesn't work, I'm really unsure how to proceed. I've had multiple freezes while writing this and getting responses, and I don't have a clear idea of what's causing the problem.
This was the final message after all four processes completed. "Windows Resource Protection detected corrupt files and fixed them. For online fixes, information is saved in the CBS log file at windir\Logs\CBS\CBS.log. For offline fixes, details come from the log file given by the /OFFLOGFILE option. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If SFC identified issues and couldn't repair, restart the script after rebooting."
This indicates your Windows setup had damaged files, but the System File Checker (SFC) managed to fix them. Running the script again after turning off the computer will likely complete the process quickly and prevent future issues.
I executed the script once more without issues, but my computer still freezes. I found advice on a forum suggesting using Memtest86 from a CD, though I don’t have an optical drive installed. Can this process be adapted for a USB stick? My setup includes only one RAM module—BallistiX 8GB at 2666MHz. The PC specifications are: AMD Ryzen 5 1600 (not overclocked), Asus Prime A320K-M motherboard, BallistiX 8GB at 2666MHz, plus two 3TB drives, a 500W power supply. My CPU temperature right now (with Chrome, Opera, Task Manager, and HWinfo open) is 50°C, max 61.8°C, average 51.3°C. I ran Aida64 for ten minutes and temperatures stayed between 80°C and 85°C, peaking at 93.9°C. Updated September 29, 2019 by Area51Invasion Adding more details
