Windows 10: Logical bad sectors in the disk of virtual memory pagefile

Dear community,


My laptop is having frequent UNEXPECTED STORE EXCEPTION issue. A previous question related to that: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_10-performance/frequent-unexpected-store-exception/0c39d81a-05c0-4262-9a05-71816faa1ced?tm=1600886297310


It looks like there are some problems with the hard drive, so I did some tests with DiskGenius software. What I found is there are several discrete bad sectors, which can be fixed by this software, so I assume they are not physical damages. But some time after fixing it, the same problem appears again in different sectors.


I tested several ways, and what I found later is that the bad sectors nearly always appear in the disk where I put my virtual memory pagefile. So I suspect there's something wrong with my virtual memory that can cause logical soft bad sectors. Could you give me some advice on how to fix this? Thanks in advance.

:)

 

hard disk bad sector repair in Windows 10

Hi Mohqasim,

Before proceeding further, please answer few queries.

1. What is the make, and model of the Computer?

2. What is the complete error message/code you receive?

As per the description, I understand that there could be some bad sector in the hard disk.

Meanwhile, I would suggest you to follow the below steps to run the check disk, and check.

1. Press Windows + X, select Command prompt(Admin).

2. Type the following command, and hit Enter.

chkdsk /r/f

Disclaimer: While performing check disk on the hard drive if any bad sectors are found on the hard drive, then chkdsk tries to repair that sector if any data available on that might be lost.

Please let us know if the issue got fixed or you need any further assistance.

Thank you.

Hi,

Thank you for providing us with the response to our questions.

I suggest you to run Check disk and check if it helps. Remove your external Hard drive and perform the steps on your system:

Check disk is a utility that can check your hard drive for corrupted segments and fix them. You can refer to these steps to run the Check disk utility:

• 
  Press Windows key + X, select “Command promt (Admin)”.
  
• 
  In the command prompt window, type
  “chkdsk/r” and press Enter.
  
• 
  Press “Y” when it asks if you want to check disk to run when the computer boots the next time.
  
• 
  Restart the computer for Check disk to detect and repair any corrupted sectors in your hard drive.
  

Important: While performing Error-checking or ChkDsk on the hard drive, if any bad sectors are found and when attempting to repair that sector, the
data available on that sector might be lost.

Please let us know if you face any issues with Windows.

Thank you.
