hello, back after a long time. my hard drivw had crashed last november and the engineer got it repaired. i lost some data but mostly he managed to save it. The system was working fine till now i am having problems for 2-3 weeks now.
here are first my system details:
Microsoft Win XP professional
version 2002
SP 2
PENTIUM(R) 4 CPU 2.40 GHz
2.39 GHz, 240 MB RAM
I CHECKED SYS INFO, following was given:
total physical memory: 256.00 mb
available physical memory: 61.68 mb
total virtual memory: 2.00 gb
available virtual memory: 1.96 gb
page file: D:\pagefile.sys
i could not detect any hardware conflicts. ok so here are the problems:
whenever i startup the system always checks file system.
PC behaves normally at first but as soon as i run I.E. or firefox, google chrome or opera (i.e. any browser) and connect to the net, it works at first but say after 1 hour or so stops and hangs. so i ran Task Manager to end task and checked the usage and processes!
whenever the above happens the page file usage peaks alarmingly 600-700/1025m CURRETLY. (it was even higher before, i tried deleting files and moved some from D: to F: drive. still the problem has marginally improved. the processes get alarmingly slow and virtually halt unless i end process of which ever browser i am using.
even normally the usage is 250 MB like a straight line with absolutely no dips! its a constant value!
I had checked the event viewer before but it didnt show anything unusual but today i checked after a week and saw error messages.
Event Type: Error
Event Source: Ntfs
Event Category: Disk
Event ID: 55
so i read up on it, it says its a "The file system on the volume might be corrupt due to one or more of the following reasons:
The disk might have bad sectors.
I/O requests issued by the file system to the disk subsystem might not have been completed successfully."
here are me questions:
What seems to be the problem is it H/W or S/W related?
Do you think its related to temperature?
Is D: drive corrupted? and or page file corrupted/has errors?
Do you think i need to backup all my data ASAP? if so please tell me if there are some free online backup data options too for the video files especially.
what i need to do? chkdsk and how do i run it? what causes NTFS file system to become corrupt?
thanx
