Windows 10: Drive issue with errors in chkdsk

Hello, my computer threw a BSOD yesterday and stated that it was a critical system failure. My X drive is causing me issues at this point, I am thinking, because the pc is taking forever to load back up if I do a restart, and somethings like Chrome are not even able to launch. Which seems odd as my x drive is a drive I have games stored on. This is what I am seeing. The first checkdisk was /f the second /x.Any input would be greatly appreciated.

:)

 

chkdsk c: /F

It might be an error on the drive. We suggests that you follow the troubleshooting steps below:

• Run Disk Cleanup utility to clear your junk files.
• Open an elevated CMD type sfc /scannow and hit Enter to run the System File Checker.
  
• Once the scan is completed, restart your computer. Remember to exit ChkDsk
  during boot.
• Next, again open CMD as admin type
  Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth and hit Enter to repair the Windows image.
• Now see if ChkDsk able to complete the scan.

Note: Before doing the steps, make sure you save a back up of your files.

Let us know how it goes.

 

Hard drive error

Hi,

This issue could be due to corrupted system file(s), faulty Hard disk drive or
no power to the drive. We would like to know some information to better isolate the issue:

• Have you done any changes on your computer prior to the issue?
• Have you tried disconnecting and reconnecting hard drive's SATA cable and power cable?
• Have you tried running CHKDSK command? CHKDSK command scans disk for errors.
