You can restart the Embedded Controller and check if the issue persists. 1) Shift + Click the Shut Down button and wait for Windows to turn off. 2) Unplug the power cord or flip the PSU to off (1/0). 3) Press the power button for 1 minute while the power is disconnected. 4) Wait a couple minutes...

You didn't want to just move to the HDD? SSDs corrupt far more frequently than HDDs. When there are both, it's usually the SSD that corrupted. 8 and 9 could be because the User Profile Service failed to login to your actual user account, so Windows instead logged into a temporary profile that...

Sorry for the confusion. It's Partition 1 in this list. Apparently "list partition" labels Reserved as Primary. "list volume" is what shows the Reserved label. Sorry for the confusion, I failed to direct you to "list volume" to look for Reserved. I was misleading to say "list partition" because...

From the working Windows, open Command Prompt as administrator and use these commands: diskpart list disk select disk # (replace # with the number of the second) list partition select partition # (replace # with whichever partition is Reserved, not Primary or Recovery) active exit

http://forum.hddguru.com/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=42079 The thing is, I had an HTS543232A7A384 with a Current Pending Sector Count of 1, then 2. The reallocations were never successful, so the Reallocated Sector Count was always 0. If the upper bitfield included pending sectors, the Reallocated...

0x80048 means 0x0048 total reallocations and 8 pending reallocations.

Wouldn't that mean 0 reallocations would be 0x80000, or 524,288? The Reallocation Event Counts and Current Pending Sector Counts are plain decimal numbers, so the Reallocated Sector Count probably is as well.

Sorry, most of those Recovery Environment tools are not able to undo the damage caused by a failing HDD. The exception is System Image Recovery, which can restore Windows onto a new HDD if you have an image. You mentioned restoring from an image, does this mean you have the system image? The...

[05] = The ID of the attribute is 5 100/5 = Score is currently 100, firmware considers critical if below 5 Worst: 100 = The lowest the score has been recorded is 100 524360 = Actual number of reallocated sectors is 524,360 Over 2 gigabytes have been reallocated. It makes no sense the score is...

Most programs only report the temperature of the flash, which is the silicon that actually stores the information. On NVMe SSDs, HWiNFO also reports a Drive Temperature 2, which is usually the controller. Consumer SSDs are almost always rated to 70 C, but it is difficult to determine if that...

It's not much of an issue since there are usually only a few, the main problem is hovering over the icons clears the notification history, which is desirable to not clear. Shortly after the flood of icons, the notifications completely stopped working, only showing the icons and no actual...

Once an alert is set to run a script or program, the log entry for it is no longer saved in the HWiNFO folder, and is instead saved in the folder with the script or program. If there are multiple different scrips and programs, the logs will be spread out depending on which alert is using which...

Is the Current Pending Sector Count above 0? While the Reallocated Sector Count may be fine if it stops increasing, the Current Pending Sector Count should always be 0. The normalized values are scores. Most start at 100, but some start higher. Unlike with Error Rates, which can be diluted by...

Yes, after being set to run in the administrator, closing the task properties requires entering the administrator password. Likewise, the password for the standard account is required after setting it to run in the standard account. It imported without error this time, but manually running it...

Okay so it's changed to "Run whether the user is logged on or not" since being logged on apparently refers to the administrator being logged on. It still does not appear in the standard account. The SSD alert script incidentally turned the fans on even though HWiNFO did not appear in the...
