Windows continues to fail despite a complete system reset.
Windows continues to fail despite a complete system reset.
Generally, I've faced problems with my PC recently. I ran an SFC scan and sometimes it reported no issues, but after about an hour of continuing the process another scan detected corrupted files, while the SFC scan failed to resolve them. I attempted to use the DISM tool which claimed it fixed the files. I reset the computer and performed another SFC scan, but corruption persisted. I also did a MemTest86 with no XMP support on my RAM, completing four passes without errors. When I enabled XMP, only the hammer test failed, though that doesn’t indicate a faulty RAM. What might be causing these issues? My system specs are: Intel i7 9700K (OC 5.0 GHz), Asus Z390-E gaming motherboard, Corsair Dominator Platinum RGB 3200MHz (XMP enabled), Corsair RM 750X PSU, ASUS Strix 1080 Ti Samsung 960 EVO NVMe M.2 (boot drive), and a 4TB Seagate hard drive for storage.
I7 9700k Asus z390-e gaming motherboard with Corsair Dominator Platinum RGB at 3200MHz. PSU from Corsair RPM 750x, storage solutions including Samsung 960 EVO NVMe M.2 (4TB Seagate drive). Includes boot drive for setup.
They tried to set up Windows on the Seagate drive connected to the Samsung as a trial.
@darksoulFx suggest giving it a shot—it should eliminate the SSD.
Last year there was a major problem with the sfc scannow tool. I wouldn't rely on it completely, even though it does detect issues and attempt fixes—it's not fully dependable. Are you facing problems beyond just errors in sfc? You haven’t mentioned anything else yet, have you? Also, I think the best next move is to uninstall the SSD entirely and reinstall Windows on another drive. There are often compatibility issues with NVMe drives during Windows installations, which might explain the delays from manufacturers.
