[QUOTE="ProDave, post: 354104, member: 6969"] A quick summary. this lappy has been "struggling" for a while. for a long time it's been very slugish, often grinding to a complete halt for minutes at a time with disk activity at 100% for no aparant reason. Never did pinpoint the cause. Just over a week ago, an AVG update requested a re boot and on re boot it crashed with a BSOD every time. Eventually found it would start in safe mode. Ran Malwarebytes and that crashed when scanning a particular AVG file. Ran it again, crasjed on same file. So something wrong with AVG? So uninstalled AVG and it booted up fine. It runs like a quick thing going quick Nothing hogging disk access, very responsive and faster than it has been ever. Thought we had cracked it. but in the last week it has twice crashed again with a BSOD First time it just re started okay. Second time on re start is says "no operating system found" so it can't read the HDD. Powe off then back on it boots up fine and has been fine since. So I'm just trying to test the HDD. the SMART data (which is supposed to warn of impending failure) says it's okay, but if you try and run a self test with the WD diagnostic it fails to read, which is nonsense as windoze can read and write to it without trouble.
