I have a Ivy Bridge system with:
I7-3770 processor
Intel DH77EB motherboard
Win7 Pro
Crucial Ram
4 Drives:
SATA Port 0 - Crucial M4 256GB - Disk 0 in "Disk management" - C: drive
SATA Port 1 - Hitachi 2TB HDS723 - Disk 1 = Z: drive
SATA Port 2 - Optical - Lite On - ATAPI HAS32 -CD-ROM 0 D: drive
SATA Port 3 - Western Digital 640GB - Disk 2 - E: drive

This morning I found that last night I had blue screen. Stop Code:0x00000024 and ntfs.sys error. Looking through the error logs I found that it happened about 12:30 and before that I had several warning stating "An error was detected on device \Device\Harddisk3\DR5 during a paging operation."

This tells me that there one of my hard drives is causing the errors, How do I tell which one "Harddisk3" is?

0x24 is a general file system error that could range from unindexed files to free space marked as allocated. Run CHKDSK from the command prompt, on all three drives, with the following switches:

CHKDSK /x /v /f /r

This will not only fix major errors, it also ensures a thorough cleanup of any minor discrepancies before they can become major errors. It's called preventive maintenance.
