PC Crashing

[Baez]

4 hours is the bare minimum keep in mind. 24 hours is optimal.

So I keep testing for 24 hours? I tested it for like 8 and there were no errors. Then another 2 hours and no errors. Everytime I boot up it says I have a hard disk error. When I first built it, it worked perfect for an hour then after that everything goes really slow. If I try to load a file from a usb, it crashes.

If you tested for 8 hours it's very likely nothing is wrong with your RAM. I would move on to the hard drive now.

How do you test the hard drive?

Hard Drive Diagnostics Tools and Utilities (Storage) - TACKtech Corp.

use the HUTIL utility. burn it to a disc just like memtest, then boot from the disc.

Well I'm not sure how long the test for the Hard Drive is suppose to take, but once I popped it in a couple seconds later this is what I got.

TURBODSK 2.42 Drive C:

Size: 4096 Kbytes

Sector Size: 512
Boot Entries: 384
Sectors/Cluster:4
2040 clusters (FAT12)​

Memory: Extended (XMS)



Correct me if I'm wrong but its showing my RAM?

It also says that my RAM is loaded at C:

im sure it takes more than a couple of seconds. i'd let it run for a few minutes (or hours) and see what it says. i cant tell you specifics, i have WD hard drives.

 

[vtecyo]

Well I didn't get a scanning thing, I got a program that was suppose to set up my hard drive...and so basically I deleted everything off the hard drive and I guess I installed it to make it usable?

 

[Nagasama]

ok if that utility isnt the right one, try the ES tool from the same website. which one did you try? the HUTIL or the disc manager?

 

[Baez]

SeaTools is the best utility out there. Tests all drives properly even ones not produced by Seagate. Burn the ISO just like you did with MemTest . Once it's burned click on Test at the top and choose the Advanced Test. Should take two or three hours to complete.
