    Overlimit shock events, time to replace HD ?


    I ran a hwinfo on a 2012 laptop, still a very capable machine, all S.M.A.R.T. logs are green/OK but there is a strange
    message (not sure what it means):

    Overlimit shock events: 62

    what's that?

    How about if you reconnect the other SSD?

    Did you take static shock precautions when you replaced the SSD the first time?

    "AccelerometerSt.exe" error message 0xc000007b after installing Windows 10 - help?!

    Suspect you have an HP. AccelerometerST.exe is HP's HD shock protection. You should simply re-install it from the computer makers cd (Or their site)

    Hi roy111

    If you google "Shock Events HDD" you will see a few different names for this. Basically your device detected a Shock. I imagine Overlimit means it exceed a set point and quite possibly perform some action with the heads to prevent damage. Given this is a laptop I would say it is not unusually to have a shock, maybe even a few more given it is five years old. Laptops can lead a tough life.

    Of course 62 might say you want to be a little more gentle.

    Backups never hurt anyone.

    They don't build them like they use too. Bet if this had been a new device there would be pieces lying about.

    Good luck and think about backups.

    We have great tutorial on Macrium Reflect which allows you to image your drive. Should your disk die at some point you pop in the boot disk and restore the Image to your new drive. Boom you're back in business.
