Try running a drive test on the drive. It’s possible it’s bad (yes, it can come bad even if it’s brand new, actually new hardware tends to have a higher fail rate then midlife span hardware). You can use a tool like HDDScan.

As a first step I’d recommend that you run HDDScan against your HDD.

The issue is that files became corrupted, resulting in it needing to check the file system. If you have a hard drive enclosure, I would recommend using the enclosure to connect the drive to a computer, and running a drive diagnostic utility. GSmartControl is a great free program for checking the drive for physical damage. HDDScan can show you where there are bad sectors on the drive. If you’re feeling adventurous,…

Smart diagnostics can be done with drive manufacturer’s utilities, or a number of third-party utilities, such as hddscan for windows. Some major brand oem systems (such as dell, hp) have diagnostics baked into the motherboard firmware that can do these tests as part of its overall diagnostics test suite.

I don’t remember for sure what software I used but I think it was HDDscan. My device was a 1TB hdd. Before even scanning I noticed it was constantly at 100% utilizarion in task manager and simple things like opening a browser or file could take up to 10 minutes. If you have an ssd I couldn’t say too much about those going bad. I only dealt with a bad ssd once at work. In that case the oc would not even boot.

What does crystal disk info say about your hdd? Have you run any diagnostics? Check the mfg’s website to see if there is one, or use hddscan. Remember to always back up important data.

Troubleshooting these seemingly random things can be a pain, so I would start ruling out the more direct tests, first going to the official website for your laptop model and checking the support/downloads page to make sure you have their latest drivers and BIOS running. Then make a few checks on the devices, like a quick SMART check on the system disk and even performing a memory test. This could help level the…

There are disk health checking tools that you could use, most of them tend to record issues into the SMART table, or you could run a surface test. For example HDDScan is a small, free tool, you can try the SMART check first and if that fails run a surface test (do NOT use the data wiping tool with the red icon).

Sounds like a drive issue. HDD or SSD? Might be worth using something like HDDscan to check their health.

The power-on hours and count come from the SMART results reported by the hardware. You could use another tool that reads SMART results like HDDScan, to see if they are consistent with each other.

Just do a full format (not quick format) of the disk if using windows. Then do a full smart scan with something like hddscan (https://hddscan.com/), stablebit scanner (paid, but 30 day trial), or WD Lifeguard (https://support.wdc.com/downloads.aspx?p=3&lang=en) or Seagate Seatools (https://www.seagate.com/support/downloads/seatools/).

I got a hold of Hiren’s Boot CD ISO which when booted provides a WinPE loaded with different tools and diagnostic software and I ran a tool called HDScan and I run the Erase test – this test starts off fine, with all blocks written without much latency, and then hits blocks with 500ms+ delays.

Probably, maybe you can test it first with e.g. https://hddscan.com/
New ones are cheaper from China… (but long wait).

You can do further testing by downloaded the program HDDScan: https://hddscan.com/
Use it to run the drive’s built in self-test: Tools > Smart Test > Extended
If that completes without error, you can also launch a manual read+write test of the drive: Tests > Erase. (This is data destructive obviously, so make sure you definitely have the correct drive selected.).
