Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix some of them...

Hugo459440 · Jul 4, 2013

I recently ran a check on my computer. Its a monthly thing. What shocked me was the large volume of files that could not be solved by the system alone. In fact, the whole CBS log consists of cannot repair member file errors.

I have attached the CBS file and hope there is some way these errors can be fixed.

Sry for the trouble as I know this will be a super tedious fix.

Hello :)

Well, I can honestly say that you win the prize: You beat the record for the highest number of corruptions I've ever seen!

But, that's seriously worrying. Because you aren't going to get that many files without hardware failure I'm afraid. I would take a guess at your hard disk drive. First, backup anything important to you. If we are dealing with hardware failure, the hard disk drive could go over the edge any second. So backup now so that it doesn't matter if it does.

Then, only once everything important is backed up, run SeaTools for Windows: SeaTools for Windows | Seagate

Run a SMART test (if available), then a short and long self test. Let me know if any of them fail.

Thank you!

Richard

There was no SMART Test so I just ran the long and short one. Both passed, but this seems bad cause this means the problem is even more serious? I'm no expert but when a CBS log shows that many errors... nothing can be right

Niemiro, any updates?

Tekno Venus · Jul 27, 2013

Hey there,

I see your thread may have been forgotten. Niemiro has been very, very busy lately and he may have forgotten this thread.

In the mean time, whilst I am far from an expert on this topic, I have to say that I agree with Richard in that that many corruptions is due to a likely hardware fault. Since your HDD passed, try performing a RAM test -

Please run Memtest86+ to check your RAM. A tutorial on how to do this is available here: Test RAM With Memtest86+ - Sysnative Forums

Also, please download and install CrystalDiskInfo from here and take a screenshot - http://release.crystaldew.info/redirect.php?product=CrystalDiskInfoSetupEn

Is your computer under warranty?

Kind regards,
Stephen

Stephen,

Does that mean I will have to disassemble my CPU?
Which page on CrystalDiskInfo should I screenshot? The first page that shows?

Tekno Venus · Jul 28, 2013

Hi,

No no, not at all :) The RAM test is simply a program like the HDD test. The tutorial will guide you through the test.

And yes please, the first page is all I need. :)

Any more questions, just ask

I'm still not sure what to do after I created the copy on my thumbdrive. Or am I doing something wrong? Its supposed to be a program right?

The prtscrn is in a zip file. Its quite small so u may have to zoom in.

Tekno Venus · Jul 28, 2013

CrystalDiskInfo looks fine - thanks for that.

Nope, you're doing it right. Once you have installed Memtest86+ on your USB drive, you will want to boot the computer from it.

Shut the computer down and insert the USB stick into a free USB port. Unplug any other USB devices except for mouse and keyboard. Turn the computer on. Hopefully, the computer will boot into the memtest86+ test and you will see a screen like this:

This is Memtest86+. Let it run for at least 8 passes, this will normally take a long time, so it is recommended to run it overnight when you don't need the PC. If memtest reports any errors, let me know.

If memtest86+ doesn't start and the PC boots into Windows normally, you will need to change the boot sequence:

Here's a partial list of ways to access the built in boot menus of different systems. Press the appropriate key when the first screen shows up after you turn the computer on.

HP/Compaq - Esc (starting to use F9 also) (F10 will usually access BIOS)
Dell - F12 (F2 will access BIOS)
Gateway/eMachines - F10 (moving to F12 with newer models) (F2 will access BIOS)
Acer - F12 (not always) (F2 will access BIOS)
Toshiba - F12 (older systems will be different)
Sony - usually will boot to CD, may ask you to "Press any key to boot from CD"
Asus - Esc (F2 will access BIOS) F8 on some systems (mostly older). Tab will display the boot screen
Samsung - Esc (F2 will access BIOS)
Nokia - F12 (F2 will access BIOS)
Lenovo - F12 (?Del wil access BIOS)

When the boot menu appears, select USB Device to boot from it. This will start memtest86.

Hope this clarifies things!

I am not able to boot. I press Del to access the startup.
Right now I have set the boot priority order to my removable drive. I type out what I see under boot options

Launch CSM NEVER

Boot Priority order
1st Boot Device : Removable Device
2nd Boot Device : CD&DVD
3rd Boot Device : Windows Boot MAnager
4th Boot Device : LAN

Hard Disk Drive Priority [Press Enter]
Optical Disk Drive Priority [Press Enter]
Removable Device Priority [Press Enter]
Network Device Priority [Press Enter]
Boot Menu [Disabled]
Quick Boot [Enabled]

Not sure why it does not boot from thumbdrive

Tekno Venus · Jul 29, 2013

If you change it back to Windows Boot Manager, you can boot back into Windows.

It should boot from the flash drive if it has been made correctly. Try making it again. Follow my instructions exactly:

Download the latest version of the Auto-installer for USB Key (Win 9x/2k/xp/7) from the official Memtest86+ website - Memtest86+ - Advanced Memory Diagnostic Tool

Insert a blank USB memory stick into your computer. It doesn’t matter what size the stick is because the memtest86+ file is only 180Kb big. I have installed it on a 128MB USB stick with no issues.
Extract the .exe file from the zip archive you just downloaded to your desktop and double click it.
This will launch the USB installer. Check the option to format the drive to reduce the risk of any install issues. Note: this will erase all data on the USB drive.
Once the installer finishes, the drive is ready.

Still not able to boot from USB. Is it an option in the Boot menu or does it auto boot from the USB?

Do check if the files are correct.

Ok,

Do you have any blank CD's or DVD's you can use? If so, please create a bootable CD and boot from the CD/DVD drive.

Download the latest version of the Pre-Compiled Bootable ISO (.zip) from the official Memtest86+ website - Memtest86+ - Advanced Memory Diagnostic Tool
Extract the .iso file from the zip archive to your desktop.
Right click this file and choose Open With -> Windows Disk Burner
Insert a blank CD into your disk drive, ensure the correct disk burner is selected in the dialogue box and press burn.
