Windows 7 x86 BSOD followed by requried CHKDSK after each boot.


Question

Working on a system that has had a BSOD however, each time you reboot the system you have to run a CHKDSK /r just to get the system to boot again, otherwise it sits at a blank black screen with a blinking curser. If you reboot the system once it is running again, you have to do it again. If you try to update any software it BSOD's again and fails.

When i get the chance i will write down the BSOD codes and post them.

Anyone seen this before?

Hard to say exactly without the bluescreen info but it sounds like the hard drive / storage media with the operating system is playing up e.g., bad sectors or something along those lines.

I doubt it has anything to do with Drivers, its a stock Dell machine nothing has been changed. She said she was working on an excel spreadsheet BSOD popped up so fast she couldn't read it and then her system rebooted. It has been in this condition ever since.

Just ran another Chkdsk /r on it and it said there are no Bad Sectors. I am running a Hard Drive test on it now. once it boots again i will get the BSOD info off the log file.

Also run Dell's diagnostic utility, which does check the hard drive through the standard tests (Short and Long ___ test).

To access press F12 (or whatever key you need for boot menu) and select Dell Diagnostics.

I'd say if you can get a copy of Seagate's Seatools and do a long test or use the Dell diagnostics that would eliminate that. Also a copy of Memtest would be handy too, essentially to do help narrow down whether this is being caused by hardware or software.

looks like boot sector on drive is toast...you can try fixmbr in the recovery console but you may lose everything I think you got a drive that is getting ready to call it quits thats why for the error

Ended up being the Boot Sector was destroyed or corrupted somehow, ran bootsec.exe reconfigured it and its up and running again.
