CHK DSK Runs Continuously

[pandaking]

I have just finished setting up my new computer and turned it on. All was fine untill it froze. I restarted and all was fine again. I set it up to do a chk dsk on restart and...restarted. It ran the chkdsk and then reboted and ran the chkdsk and reboted etc. I then got a message asking me what mode to enter in (ie. safe mode) and only safe mode works and even that is not great. When I select it it comes up with loads of information and then hangs for ages sometimes to then load into safe mode. Can anybody help?

IS the drive making any "bad" noices like clicking or grinding? Where did the machine "freeze"? Were in Windows? At the BIOS?

From what you describe it sounds like your drive could be failing. Is this a new drive? have you tried a repair install of Windows or a complete format yet?

Yes Grinding. Not Good. Going to try a reformat...

If it's grinding then forget a reformat. Get a new drive. Yours is about to die.
