Now this is one of the many times I've had to reformat my computer because my hard disk becomes inaccesable of a period of time. It repeatedly showed the "An error was detected on device \Device\Harddisk0\D during a paging operation." error and then the problems occur. PC randomly freezes, most noticebly when I'm playing a PC game. Sometimes it will freeze up even when I'm not playing. I cannot access ctrl + alt + delete, the sound dies and I am forced to restart by holding shutdown key on my PC.
I've got AVG AV, and SP protection - I did a scan from both before formatting, no errors. When I formatted I did it quick, because last time I did it slow and it made no difference- This is my second harddisk now that shows this error, and its frustrating because this is a new drive thats never been used.
When I installed Windows I had CD ready with all the drivers and I restarted my PC everytime I was prompted.
1. Service Packs ( Latest SP3 )
2. Direct X ( 9.0c Latest )
3. Motherboard Drivers ( Asus and Nforce )
4. Graphics Card Drivers ( Latest from Nvidia Site )
5. And the rest of the drivers / updates via Windows update.
I ensured everything was done perfectly and smoothly, and yet this hard disk error haunts me yet again. What am I doing wrong?
I can not contact Alienware for support because the computer warranty is no longer available and because was a gift from a friend. I can sell the computer, but I'm positive there is nothing wrong with it - I believe its just because I'm not to computer savvy.
This is the second post I've made about this error, before I was getting BSOD constantly- that is not the case now. I've pinpointed the error to the "An error was detected on device \Device\Harddisk0\D during a paging operation." error- I just need to find out what it causing it and how to resolve it.
I am tired of reformatting the PC.
