Solution 5 – Check the hard drive

Fix PC Errors

If there’s something wrong with your hard drive, BSODs are a common occurrence. For that matter, you need to check the condition of your hard drive. And to do that, use the chkdsk command. This command basically scans your partitions and resolves any potential problems.

Here’s how to run the chkdsk command in Windows 10:

Enter the Advanced Startup (Restart your computer while holding the Shift key).

Choose Troubleshoot > Advanced Options.

Select Command Prompt from the list of options.

When Command Prompt appears, enter the following lines and press Enter after each line in order to run it:

bootrec.exe /rebuildbcd

PFN LIST CORRUPT Windows 10 error

bootrec.exe /fixmbr

bootrec.exe /fixboot

Some users are also suggesting that you need to run additional chkdsk commands as well. To perform these commands, you need to know drive letters for all your hard drive partitions. In Command Prompt you should enter the following (but remember to use the letters that match your hard drive partitions on your PC):

chkdsk /r c:

chkdsk /r d:

This is just our example, so keep in mind that you have to perform chkdsk command for every hard drive partition that you have.

Restart your computer and check if the issue is resolved.
