 Posted: Sat, 3rd Dec 2016 20:31 Post subject: HDD misbehaving? |
|
 |
Cleaned the PC today, w/out removing the drives and after getting it back together, I noticed a different behavior.
Some apps are hanging now ( Photoshop, uTorrent ), tried closing them, no luck, they become unresponsive and then if I try to restart, it just hangs while "signing out".
Tried playing a movie via network, from my wife's laptop and the movie got stuck after a while, making both my PC and laptop unresponsive.
Scanning HDD for errors now, seems stuck at 15s remaining.

SMART status?
(CrystalDiskInfo for example, Defraggler has a quick but very simple health chart too using that.)
( http://crystalmark.info/download/index-e.html )
Could also be some background crap running taking critical amounts of HDD cycles slowing everything else down in the process.
EDIT: Probably would be most reliable to check HDD status via boot loader outside of Windows too if possible in any way.

Ok, my c: (which is ssd), ran error checking with no issues, d: (normal hdd), doesn't. I'm pretty sure my drive is almost fucked up, need to find solution to save data now.

Most likely there are better alternatives but that one has always worked alright for me. Just grabbed one of the many cracled versions around or wait for a free alternative that doesn't have the risk of including a bitcoin miner

@Danyutz
Doesn't look faulty at all to me.
Have you checked the power and SATA cables?
You probably losened it a bit during the cleaning.
And how come you think the HDD is at fault here?
Might as well fucked something up on the mainboard or GPU.

Opened the case, and meddled with cables, power on, managed to save some files. Then did a checkdisk, which took roughly 2.30h.
So far it works now. Gonna monitor it for a while.

yep, the ultradma crc error stuff is 99% related to the cable, just replace it. (the other 1% could be a faulty sata controller or completely fucked drive, but the other values are fine so the drive shouldnt have problem itself)

i am sorry for you, but cleaning inside of a pc is always dangerous, because of electrostatical voltage. it's always: the thing works or the thing works not after cleaning. always dangerous. i just don't do it. best cleaning is using a brush...very very careful.
i know this does not solve your troubles, but i just wanted to mention.
good luck!
