Assortment of Errors

mjstokes · 05-19-2008, 07:12 PM

Where to begin?
My computer does a few things that i would prefer it not to. For one, every time i boot up my system, it recommends that i check my C drive for errors. It gets through stage one fine, but it only gets to about 21% on stage two. At this point it freezes and the only thing i can do is turn the computer off holding the power button.
The next problem comes with connecting to my wireless network. 9 times out of 10 it will connect, but then there are times when it will only connect with limited connectivity and it takes a few restarts to bring it back.
Thirdly, the blue screen of death appears every now and then. Usually this appears when i'm not home and i return to find a message saying that windows has recovered from an unexpected restart.
I have attempted to back up my C drive onto my external, but it says that one or more files are corrupted and that i should check the disk for consistency, which brings me right back to square one. I have attempted to run in safe mode, (both regular and command mode), but that freezes up before it runs as well.
Any advice at all would be great. Thanks.

Hi mjstokes. . .

Welcome back to the Tech Support Forum - Vista Support!

I suggest that you check three areas for some answers:

The Event Viewer:
START | type eventvwr.exe into the Start Search box | select Event Viewer up top | when Event Viewer comes up, select Administrative Events towards the top left of your screen

Also check Problem Reports and Solutions -
START | type wercon.exe into the Start Search box | select Problems Reports and Solutions up top

And the Device Manager -
START | type dev man into the Start Search box | select Device Manager up top | Click on View and select Show Hidden Devices | Look for any red/yellow flags

Good Luck to you.

Regards. . .
