Ishayu Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 Hi everybody! I come to this forum because I have some troubling signs from S.M.A.R.T. Now, I know what you're saying: "SMART doesn't work properly all the time", but the thing is - I have symptoms too. At seemingly random moments (but usually within an hour) the computer will crash with a blue screen of death. All programs will slowly just stop working or crash in one way or another one by one, until eventually the entire computer falls to it's knees, and I get a BSOD telling me that an important system function has terminated. Everything halts, I get a dump, system reboots. SSDLife Free tells me this: http://online.hddlife.com/ssdlife/106ca5219c0825ad7814b24ebcfe5dd2 Is the disk dead, or is this Windows? What can I do to find out other than beginning the huge undertaking of wiping the system? I tried the benchmarking tool but it's... well a benchmarking tool. It also constantly complains about read errors, and I don't have an antivirus, although HijackThis reports all come out clean. EDIT: I just tried to boot into OS X, and it worked completely fine. Yes, that is a Hackintosh. I don't think we need to go further into discussing it but let's just say that Hackintoshes are literally allergic to the slightest error in the system. They will crash instantly if ANYTHING isn't working perfectly and set up in some ridiculous manner. Well, it hasn't crashed yet for a good hour now. It HAS to be either Windows or the SSD. OS X runs off a 160GB 7200rpm Seagate drive. (quite old, but whatever) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wired Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 SSDLife is wrong. What "benchmarking tool" complains about errors? Test with ATTO and post a pic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ishayu Posted December 31, 2011 Author Share Posted December 31, 2011 The benchmarking tool being ATTO, sorry I didn't make that clear. It performs 5 tests, then on the 6th it complains about a read error and stops testing. This does, however, not crash the system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Synbios Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 What's the stop error on the BSOD, or attach a small memory dump please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ishayu Posted January 4, 2012 Author Share Posted January 4, 2012 Post a picture/screenshot of ATTO please. I cannot, the SSD no longer boots. It BSOD's pretty much instantly. What's the stop error on the BSOD, or attach a small memory dump please. It has no error code, and the error dump fails to be written as the SSD has become impossible to write to - that is the error! The exception varies each time, but it is always an illegal operation in a vital system component like Winlogin, winnt, kernel.exe or other such - and all the other apps have performed illegal operations just before. Basically everything segfaults in a streak until Windows BSOD's. Windows isn't necessarily last on the list of segfaulting programs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synbios Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 It doesn't make sense for your health status to be 20% with only 2.3 TiB written. Please double check the E7 and EA SMART values with a different utility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
