Had a few Firefox crashes on Youtube, Windows Live couldn't install due to some .tmp file being corrupted, and I had 2 x BSOD eventually. I can explain in more detail later if need be, for now I just attached the minidump files, there's only two as I bought the hard drive yesterday. My main concern of course is if it's faulty or not, and secondly if I can start putting on some "valuable" data on it.
I ran chkdsk, no bad sectors (ran it several times last night, and twice today)
I ran chkntfs c: and the file system is not reported to be dirty.
Forward thanks,
Kreinz
UPDATE: Two more dump files, just had two BSODs in the last few minutes. This time it suggested I scan the F: drive, which is a partition on my 1.5TB Samsung HD153WI. Running disc check on F: as I'm writing this.
