I have a Corsair 60Gig Force 3 SSD as my main storage with 14.15TB read and 38.20TB write capacity. It has stopped working properly, and it's been offline for weeks or months now. Recently it only works occasionally once a day. The last freeze made it impossible to click the mouse, and the HDD light stayed on. I tried a restart like before, but this time I got a Windows error saying there was one corrupt file. It said it couldn't fix it automatically and didn't remember which one. I ran a Windows file check, found one issue, fixed it, and tried again from Windows 7, but it froze once more. The mouse still wouldn't respond, the HDD stayed solid, and I haven’t run Memtest yet. I plan to do that tonight or think my drive might be failing. No other event IDs appeared except for Windows, which didn’t shut down correctly. This happened again while watching a video in VLC, but the audio still played.

Windows may become unresponsive when idle. Below are some recommended actions to help identify and fix the problem.

Start by launching Check Disk to examine your hard drive for errors. Open the Start menu, select the Computer option, right-click your hard disk, and choose Properties. From there, go to Tools, then click the Check Now button under Error-checking. Tick the box for Scan and Attempt Recovery of Bad Sectors. This will automatically fix detected file and folder issues. Click Start to begin the scan, which may take a while depending on your disk size. If it doesn’t resolve the issue, proceed to Step 2: Run Clean Boot.

Begin by launching Clean Boot to determine if the problem stems from third-party software conflicts. Open Start, type msconfig, and press ENTER. Under User Account Control, click Yes if prompted. Select the Administrator account and click Continue. On the General tab, choose Selective Startup. Turn off the Load Startup Items option, then click Disable All under Services. Click OK and restart when prompted. This will put your system into a minimal startup state.

If the issue persists after Clean Boot, it may indicate corrupt system files. Follow the instructions in the linked guide to locate and repair the affected files. Once you’ve completed these steps, return your computer to its standard startup process by returning to the Start menu, selecting msconfig, and choosing Normal Startup. Click OK and restart when asked.

If problems continue, consider performing a full SFC scan using Command Prompt with administrator privileges: Run sfc /scannow. This will check for and repair system file corruption. For more details, refer to the support page provided.
