Chkdsk bug in Windows 7 RTM Build 7600.16385/16399

[Pharos]

I see ATI and WD as common factors.

Again please post your entire system specs including brands and models.

Nvidia Graphics with an SSD Drive here and I have this issue :|

Holy crap this happens on mine too! How did M$ miss this show stopping bug after such a long beta?

I doubt they chkdsk ever build of Windows. Even if it is RTM.

Entire specs.

As users, I think it is neccessary to rule out all HW factors then SW factors.

You would have thought someone would have noticed an issue this big though :/

Worrying that even given the extra attention given to Windows 7 a big bug has still slipped through the cracks into RTM

Entire specs.

Why can't you just accept that this is a bug? The range of configs that users even in this forum are reporting make it next to impossible to be config related.

The Oem's have the hotfixes as of last weds Old news Move on!!!!

Apple MacBook (MA254LL/A) here.

OS: Windows 7 Ultimate (Build #7600) CPU: Genuine Intel T2400,? 1.83 GHz, 2048 KB Video: Mobile Intel® 945 Express Chipset Family?(1280x800x32bpp 60Hz) Sound:?Speakers (SigmaTel High Definit Memory: Used: 1125/2017MB Uptime: 4d 4h 30s HD Space: Free: 8.80 GB/64.00 GB Connection: Atheros AR5006EXS Wireless Network Adapter @ 54.0 Mbps (Rec: 1234.38MB Sent: 194.48MB)

Hard Drive is a 320GB Western Digital Scorpio Black 7200RPM.

I doubt this has anything to do with ATI or WD since my desktop which the screenshot was taken on has a Seagate Hard Drive but funny thing is it has a ATI card. I still doubt its a ATI or WD issue.

Interesting bug

My machine won't BSOD though, the way I see it here is that chkdsk uses all the available memory left bar a few %.

My box has 8Gb of Ram, I have a few apps loaded, if it was a memory leak it would flush to page all the other loaded apps, but doesn't... the chkdsk process stays at 7 109 128K Private Working Set....weird

If you are refering to the hotfixes that already leaked and change the build number to 7600.16399 I'm sorry to inform you that this exact issue is still present for users who have installed these leaked hotfixes. So NO we won't move on!

Put vista back on them

It wouldn't go higher than that for 5 minutes straight.

[Long]

So it uses a lot of RAM very quickly, but my understanding is that it does not BSOD and completes and releases the RAM in due time.

Keep in mind that Memory Cards for Digital Cameras and Flash Drives all use FAT32 by default. Some Apple Mac users use FAT32 for compatability between OS X and Windows.

I killed it off in my screen.

[iamwhoiam]

It didn't cause a BSOD while scanning a 2TB drive, but the memory usage was just under 4GB.

Elitebook 8530w, 6GB RAM, Windows 7 RC (7100).

Bug is present. Got up to 4.7GB of RAM used before I killed the program...

Thanks for another pointless comment. We'd like the bug fixed, not go back to the past.

Just had a friend test this - the issue is NOT PRESENT on the machine. It's build 7100.

[ccoltmanm]

When do people use this feature anyways?

[bertmace]

utorrent does it to if you download a big file and copy to another drive with it running it eat all of the ram until the copy is done vista and on seven

[RichardK]

so many people using software illegally. :rolleyes:

He didn't say anything about illegal stuff. uTorrent can download legal things too. Don't judge.

Although he probably is talking about the recent Bruno camera release.

[fires]

hardly a critical show stopper bug.

I believe he was referring to the RTM release of Win 7 :)

Significant memory loss. After about 20 minutes still at 25%. Reported ! Nice job on catching this bug. I'd have to say its a large beetle

[br0adband]

Confirmed it here, as well. Memory consumption skyrocketed to almost a gig in under 20 seconds so I killed it off... interesting. I'm sure a simple hotfix/QFE will appear to resolve this. I wouldn't classify this as a "showstopper" because it takes time to build up and really cause issues - most showstoppers literally cause an instantaneous BSOD when the given event or trigger happens, and this one simply doesn't qualify in that respect.
