Windows 10: BSOD so running chkdsk on my SSDs...someone mind telling me what they think of the below?

So I got a number of page fault BSODs recently, and over the past two days I’ve gotten probably one every few hours or so, sometimes with it then happening multiple times within an hour. It’s been worrying.

I thought I fixed it when I moved the paging file onto my secondary SSD but I just ran into the same issue again.

Turns out my SSD deffo had some errors, so now running chkdsk. The C: drive didn’t take long to fix but I’m currently waiting for an ETA of an hour for the D: drive to fix...seems a bit above and beyond? Is this good? Does it mean it’s actually sorting those sectors? I’ve never run chkdsk on the secondary drive so maybe it just has loads to catch up on? That being said I’ve also not used that drive as much so I’d not expect it to have so much wear and tear?

EDIT: just to add, 5 minutes after logging in after running the CHKDSK I crashed. So obvs that didn’t help.

Can chkdsk /r ruin an SSD?

I accidentally ran chkdsk /r on my SSD. I know it's not good to do it on an SSD, so I force shut down the computer while it was doing the check. It booted back up but was acting weird, so I restarted it. The my PC got caught in a BSOD (NTFS_FILE_SYSTEM stop
code) boot loop. Restart, BSOD, restart, BSOD. Then it did automatic repair, (fixed some disk errors which I assumed happened because I forced a shut down) and then rebooted again. Bang, now it's working properly (I think so far).

Do I have cause for concern? Will my SSD be okay? What should I do if it happens again? How can I check the health of my SSD without chkdsk?

 

Why can't I run chkdsk?

Hello Jack,

There is a possibility that you are experiencing this issue due to some problem with the Administrator privileges. For us to effectively assist you, we would like to ask a few questions:

• Could you tell us if you're logged in as an Administrator when you're trying to run chkdsk on your computer?
• What is the exact error message that you are getting? Kindly send us a screenshot if possible.

Meanwhile, we suggest that you try to disable the third-party antivirus software on your computer. After disabling it, try to run chkdsk and check if the issue persists.

We're looking forward to your response.

 

Can chkdsk /r ruin an SSD?

It shouldn't ruin the SSD,

Is CHKDSK Advisable on a SSD?

My guess is that your PC ran into BSODs because you forced a shutdown when the scan was running. Never do that.
