CHKDSK, checking file system on C

[madara]

Everytime I turn on my computer, before the login screen, the message "Checking File System on C : the type of file is NTFS, One of your disk needs to be checked for consistency." show up with a black background. what is that, it was never happens before.
And the computer is really slow these days, and sometime it freezes.
When i open the disk defrag box, and i cant see the C, only recovery can be defrag
Sounds like its the issue of the hard drive, my computer used to running very fast.
Can someone help me fix this problem?

get a command prompt

enter CHKDSK /F

which will fix the errors, but needs to schedule it at reboot, so reply YES

reboot the system and it will run and correct the errors

basically i have to do a full chkdsk run right? and do i have to do chkdsk run everytime i turn on my computer or just once.

and what do you mean by" get a command prompt enter"

 

[DelJo63]

click Start->Run and enter CMD to get the command prompt

in that window type in (aka enter) CHKDSK /F and hit the <enter> key

you do this ONCE and it will fix all the errors.

However, you may see the system complain in the future and need to do it again
so keep these instructions.

Well, i did a full chkdsk run but my computer is still lag a little. is the hardware got damaged?

ok, problem #1 was solved (rerunning chkdsk)

get the command promp and enter tasklist /fi "cputime gt 00:00:00" >cpuHogs.log

then open cpuHogs.log and copy/paste that content as a followup

copy and paste the bold command shown; it works (at least on XP; what's your system?)

i use window 7

 

[malakaayo]

i use window 7

run "cmd" aka command prompt as administrator under windows 7, then
enter:
tasklist /fi "cputime gt 00:00:00" >cpuHogs.log

open cpuHogs.log which contains the log of all running processes and their memory consumed.

or you can just enter:
enter tasklist /fi "cputime gt 00:00:00"
and read all the processes running...
