- Get a bsod (bluescreen of Death) just about every time I boot up my computer. -I cant boot safe mode -- The only way I can acess my computer is if I boot to last known good config. - There is no dump files for the bsod, I tried to find the error in the dump location and its just not there. Should I buy a new hard drive and should I get an external one as a backup?
Have you... Ran a disk error check on your drives/partitions? Scanned your system with your antivirus? Googled the file on the bsod screen for solutions? Also what's your OS?
I ran a disk check for bad sectors and it came completely clean. lol wtf? I also scanned my pc with malware bytes and avast and another malware program all clean.
The error check came up clean on my hdd malware bytes, avast scanned the entire computer and it came out clean. -Os= Windows 7 Home premium - I googled the bsod a day or two ago and It displays "(INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE)"
Have you done anything to your computer before it started happening? Installing drivers/updates? Have you read: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/ff559218(v=vs.85).aspx
The answer is probably a new HDD. Preferably an SSD for your OS and a reliable HDD for storage. I recommend Western Digital. I have an external desk drive that I use for backups. Works as intended so go ahead and grab one if you want.
So it turns out I finally was able to run a test on my hdd via sea tools and it failed both tests. So now I have to get a new hdd...shit
