This hard drive has just restarted while online again , i had it tested at a computer shop . It is faulty , it boots slowly it sounds as if it is clicking and scraping ,. When it boots up and it slows down the machine when plugged in . That was what they wrote on the receipt .
I went to the local city to test that hard drive , one was £5 but he only tested upto 4TB . One only tested upto 8TB , one could test the 18TB but it would cost £20 per half hour and it could take hours . Both computer shops in the towns near me are shut , i went to the city pc shops thinking they would have plenty of testing software . I never realised there would be limits , its just been a waste of tiime .
A partial test of a disk is a good indication of the health of the whole disk.
If the disk disk, when mounted in your pc still causes crashes you may also think of cables being damaged even a too small powersupply. A crashdump may tell more but none showed up. Could you try the Powershel script?
How do i run PowerShell Script , i downloaded the ap . There is a video that says run it from notepad but i can't find folder options in my control panal .
That is easy. Type 'powershell' in the search box in the bottom left corner of the screen, select 'powershell' in the results, click on it and it pops up.
In the last line of my answer #64, sorry for the typo, is a link to a script of Neemobeer which helps collecting crashdumps. Copy the code into your powershell and run it.
I did copy and paste it , everything as in my post and i'm still none the wiser about getting a dump file from it . This PC has just restarted once again while online . The pics above 2 entries back show the results .
This is what i get with the first 2 lines pasted in.
$CollectDir = "$env:USERPROFILE\Desktop\SYSTEMREPORT"
$DumpPath = "HKLM:\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\CrashControl"
The dump file that has been created during your tests with that disk, are important and may reveal a clue what is wrong, either with that disc or wrong with your system.
Creating a dump yourself wil not help.
