Windows 10: Windows failing due to hardware error

Hi I need help resolving an issue with my computer. So recently my computer has been really buggy and has been freezing constantly and the audio is messed up. Whenever my computer freezes it doesn't allow me to do anything and the audio starts replaying at a fast rate at the most recent sound. The only was to fix this is a hard reset, but the issue still remains. I've figured out that the issue was a hardware error and I have no idea how to decipher which hardware error it really was so I'm hoping to find help on that.The signature is thisroblem Event Name: LiveKernelEventCode: 193

The request failed due to a fatal device hardware error - External HD

Some decent advice here:
Quick fix for “the request failed due to fatal device hardware error”

https://appuals.com/fix-the-request-failed-due-to-a-fatal-device-hardware-error/
- shows that exact error message

- check the status if the drive as suggested there and with any tool such as Crystal Diskinfo and Hard Disk Sentinel (trial) is especially good.

Were you moving (dangerous to an external drive as things can..er.. go wrong..) or copying the data?

e.g. (plenty of results)
6 Ways to Fix Disk Unknown Not Initialized in Windows 10/8/7 - EaseUS
Unknown Not Initialized - Can’t initialize disk in Windows 10

I hope you have a full backup for your laptop - so here's another plug for routine and regular disk imaging (e.g. Macrium Reflect - free- paid) plus large enough external storage for image files.

If so, recovery should be painless even if you were moving the data. (Have you checked the source data to see if you actually lost any?)


The forum prompted you for your full build number so we don't have to keep asking.

 

KB4025339 Fails Install 0x80070564

Thanks
I am trying Eagle 51's suggestions now. Windows Update troubleshooter found a bunch of errors and fixed all but one.The update is trying to download KB4025339 again. I'll see what happens. At step one troubleshooter finishes with one error unresolved "Potential Windows Update Database Error Detected-Not Fixed". Windows update stalled at 0%.

At step 2 same troubleshooter error. The KB finished a new download failed to install.
Did step 3 KB has downloaded but fails to install.

If Eagle's suggestion doesn't work I'll try EdTittel's suggestion

Tried bothe Eagle & Ed 's suggestions - do not work. Anyone else?

I have noticed that the latest update for my nvidia drivers has failed to update. Wondering about that!

 

Hardware Error Caused Live Kernel Event

Hi Anthony,

Sometimes even newly-bought hardware can be faulty and affect your computer's performance. Have you checked if this error happens when using a different video adapter?

As an initial recommendation, we suggest that you use the Hardware and Devices Troubleshooter, which is a built-in troubleshooter specifically built to find and fix common hardware issues. To do this, follow these steps:

• Click Start.
• Go to Settings.
• Click Update & Security.
• Click Troubleshoot.
• Click Hardware & Devices from the list.
• Click Run the troubleshooter.

Additionally, this may also be happening due to outdated drivers. Follow the steps in this

article to update your drivers, then check if the issue persists.

Let us know if the error disappears after following these steps.
